Lessee Sought for Hangar One; Moffett Airfields to Remain Under NASA Control

Hangar One is "for rent."

That's the announcement Congresswoman Anna G. Eshoo (D-Palo Alto) made Friday following a Tuesday meeting with the General Services Administration (GSA), NASA, and the White House.

A "Notice of Intent," will be released by the GSA regarding the futures of Hangar One and Moffett Federal Airfield that reflects the following, according to Eshoo's office:

    Moffett Federal Airfield will not be excessed. It will remain a restricted Federal Airfield and NASA will remain its custodian.


    The Notice of Intent outlines a competitive bid process and the Request for Proposal (RFP) will be released this spring seeking a qualified lessee to provide for the rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of historic Hangar One. 

"This notice of intent embodies my consistent goals over several years to save Hangar One and to keep Moffett Federal Airfield as a local and Bay Area public safety and national security asset, and home to the 129th Rescue Wing," Rep. Eshoo said.

"GSA and NASA will work closely with the local community to explain the RFP process and produce the desired outcomes. I will continue to work with the agencies and my communities to see this critical process through," she said.
