Blanket Purchase Agreement FA301620A0013

The Blanket Purchase Agreement was awarded by the Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command to 205 East Houston Street, LLC, doing business as Gunter Hotel, as a multiple-award contract vehicle. The BPA establishes the terms and conditions for procuring off-base lodging in support of personnel from the 433rd Training Squadron who are in Inactive Duty Training status. With a potential value of $0.00 and a period of performance through February 23, 2025, the BPA enables ordering activities to acquire lodging services through task orders or price lists from the awardee during the base term. As no set-aside was used in the award, the BPA is open to all GSA Schedule or FSS contract holders. Lodging will be provided off base to support training personnel when they are not on active duty orders. The award to Gunter Hotel indicates lodging services will likely be performed in or around the San Antonio, Texas area, where the 433rd Training Squadron is headquartered.

The Blanket Purchase Agreement mechanism streamlines the lodging acquisition process for inactive duty training periods. By establishing standard terms, conditions, and rates through the BPA, individual lodging reservations and payments can be made more efficiently via subsequent orders when training requirements materialize. This supports the Air Force's training mission by facilitating travel and temporary duty arrangements for reserve personnel through a compliant contracting vehicle managed by Air Education and Training Command.
