In 2020, the Fairfax County Sports Tourism Task Force issued a report that highlighted the need for athletic field and court complexes that can better facilitate tournament play in order to help the county better compete in the sports tourism marketplace. The report proposed a set of recommended actions related to the development of sports tourism complexes in Fairfax County.

In response to the task force recommendations, the Park Authority advertised a Request for Interest (RFI) to identify expressions of interest in the development of multisports tournament complexes at potential FCPA sites. The Park Authority received four submissions in response. After an evaluation of the proposals received, it has been determined that none of the submissions are viable options to move forward as proposed.

While there is no official Request for Interest posted at this time, interested parties may submit unsolicited proposals through the Public-Private Educational Facilities and Infrastructures Act (PPEA) process. Guidelines outlining the PPEA process and the submission of unsolicited proposals are available at the Procurement and Material Management website.
