Notice ID No. W912CN-26-M-EC01 Issue Date: Aug 7, 2026

Pre-solicitation Lodging-In-Kind in US Territories of American Samoa, Guam and Saipan (CNMI)

1. The purpose of this Pre-solicitation Notice is to notify the commercial marketplace of the

Government's upcoming requirement for transient commercial Lodging-in-Kind (LIK) services and to identify interested, qualified small business sources located within American Samoa, Guam and Saipan. This notice serves as broad market outreach to expand the Government's competitive pool.

Any qualified small business entities identified through responses to this notice will be added to the direct solicitation list alongside the seven (7) active small business incumbents.

In accordance with RFO 5.101, Table 5-2, because this proposed contract action is estimated to be greater than $25,000 but, less than or equal to $350,000 (Simplified Acquisition Threshold, SAT), this pre-solicitation notice will be active on SAM.gov for a minimum of fifteen (15) calendar days from publication. Following this 15-day notice period, the Government will issue direct solicitation to the qualified suppliers on the compiled solicitation list.

2. The contracting office for this requirement is the 413th Contracting Support Brigade, Regional Contracting Office – Hawaii (413th CSB, RCO-HI). The points of contact are:

• Contracting Officer:

Cierra Urquhart Email: cierra.urquhart.civ@army.mil

• Contract Specialist:

Edmond R. Chan Email: edmond.r.chan.civ@army.mil

3. Total Small Business Set-Aside in accordance with RFO Part 19.

• A formal search of the SBA Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) database utilizing NAICS code 721110 returned zero (0) results due to administrative profile synchronization gaps unique to OCONUS territories. However, historical procurement records and local commercial market analysis confirm a robust, highly competitive small business lodging sector on the islands. There are currently seven (7) active small business incumbents successfully executing these exact requirements under expiring BPAs. Consequently, the Contracting Officer intends to set aside this requirement 100% for Small Business participation to continue supporting local OCONUS economies.

4. The following federal classification codes identify the commercial services being procured:

• North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code: 721110 – Hotels and Motels.

• Product Service Code (PSC): V231 – Transportation/Travel/Relocation -

Travel/Lodging/Recruitment: Lodging, Hotel/Motel. Note: This requirement is treated as a Supply Buy for administrative purposes but, utilizes a Service PSC because no corresponding Supply PSC adequately describes the temporary commercial lease of lodging facilities.
