Specifically, Ashford TRS Alexandria, LLC has established itself as a key service provider for facilitating scientific peer review meetings and conferences, primarily supporting agencies within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), with a strong focus on supporting the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

The company has consistently been awarded federal contract task orders, predominantly from NIH agencies such as the Center for Scientific Review and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. These contracts, which are typically firm fixed-price Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call orders or purchase orders, range in value from $5,211 to $35,703.75 and are specifically designed to provide lodging, meeting spaces, and AV services for peer review activities. The contracts have supported various federal agency needs, including scientific grant application review meetings, research panel conferences, and even a study tour for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) involving an Indonesian delegation. None of the contract awards to date have had specific set-aside designations, indicating the company competes in open federal contracting markets.

Ashford TRS Alexandria, LLC holds a significant Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with the NIH, valued at $1 billion, with a performance period through December 2025. This IDV enables the company to provide hotel services, conference room space, and AV equipment rentals to support federal agency meetings and conferences. To date, twelve firm fixed-price call orders totaling $343,000 have been issued against this BPA, primarily supporting NIH's peer review processes. The BPA was awarded by the NIH's Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations and allows the agency to efficiently procure lodging and conference services for scientific review panels evaluating extramural research grant applications across various biomedical and behavioral research fields.
