The U.S. Department of the Army, Rhode Island Army National Guard (RIARNG), has awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Warwick Hotel Associates, operating as the Crowne Plaza Hotel, to provide standard lodging facilities and services to support the RIARNG's monthly Inactive Duty Training (IDT) sessions.
The BPA, valued up to $250,000 over 27 months, is an unrestricted multiple-award contract that allows the RIARNG to place orders for lodging within a 50-mile radius or 30-minute drive of the anticipated IDT locations in East Greenwich, Warwick, Providence, and Middletown, Rhode Island. The contracted services must meet FEMA standards and not exceed government per diem rates. Orders can be placed via government purchase card for amounts under $10,000, while larger orders will be paid via Electronic Funds Transfer. This recurring requirement supports the RIARNG's mission to provide housing for soldiers residing over 50 miles from the unit location, mitigating fatigue and commuting risks.
