# 52.5 What types of professional services contracts may the Director issue?
The Director may issue professional services contracts that support the National Park Service in soliciting, awarding, and managing commercial services contracts. Professional services contracts may include asset management agreements under which a service provider assists the National Park Service in overseeing and administering commercial services contracts but does not itself provide visitor services. Professional services contracts also may include contracts for the provision of other consulting services to the National Park Service such as developing requests for proposals, condition assessments, operational or financial analysis, accounting, and other related services.
