Lodging Services

The Department of the Army National Guard, specifically the 180th Fighter Wing of the Ohio Air National Guard, is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Request for Information (RFI) for lodging services under NAICS code 721110. This RFI seeks to identify potential sources capable of providing transient lodging accommodations for military personnel during regularly scheduled drill periods and authorized training days. The contractor must secure lodging facilities within 10 miles of the 180th FW base in Ohio, ensuring all accommodations meet fire and safety standards, provide 24/7 check-in/out services, and maintain comprehensive security measures including video surveillance. The lodging must offer specific amenities such as functional locks, heating/AC, television, and telephone service while maintaining pricing at or below government per-diem rates. Quality control expectations include annual inspections by base fire, public health, and services representatives. Responses to this market research RFI are due by August 22, 2025.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, with businesses required to indicate whether they qualify as small or large under the NAICS 721110 size standard of $40,000,000 in annual receipts. The contractor must maintain availability of at least 30 double occupancy and 15 single occupancy rooms for Friday and Saturday stays during drill weekends. Room assignments follow a structured military hierarchy, with junior enlisted and junior officers sharing rooms while field grade officers and senior non-commissioned officers receive single accommodations. The contract emphasizes cost-effectiveness and professional service delivery to meet the specific lodging needs of military personnel during training periods. No incumbent contractors or award values are specified in this pre-solicitation notice, as the government is still determining its acquisition strategy based on market research results. The government has explicitly stated this RFI does not guarantee future solicitation and no compensation will be provided for information submitted.
