Blue Next Services LLC

Blue Next Services LLC, a Romeo, Michigan-based service-disabled veteran-owned, minority-owned 8(a) certified small business operating as a for-profit limited liability company, provides military lodging, event management, facility support, and specialized services to the Department of Defense and National Guard entities entirely as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards). The company competes across a mix of 8(a) sole source, competitive 8(a), and full-and-open designations, with 8(a) sole source awards anchoring the largest individual contract values.

Blue Next's customer base concentrates heavily on Air National Guard and Army National Guard programs in Michigan. The top five funding agencies account for 97% of recent awards, led by the Department of the Air Force Air National Guard (16 awards, $3.9 million combined potential value) and the Department of the Army Michigan Army National Guard (11 awards, $1.5 million combined potential value). The Department of the Army Installation Management Command Southwest Region holds a single $2.5 million award for mailroom services at Warren, Michigan, representing the largest individual contract in the footprint. The Department of the Air Force (5 awards, $2 million), Department of the Army Southern Command (1 award, $1.9 million for executive travel coordinator services in Doral, Florida), and Department of the Army proper (1 award, $20 thousand) round out the active customer set. The portfolio skews toward volume in Michigan National Guard work and dollar concentration in Air National Guard and DoD installations.

Blue Next holds two single-award blanket purchase agreements: a $950,000 BPA with the Air National Guard's 127th Wing covering lodging, meals, conference facilities, and related support through October 1, 2029, with five task orders issued ($697 thousand combined potential value); and an $800,000 BPA with the Air Force for the 110th Wing at Battle Creek Air National Guard Base through September 30, 2029, with two task orders issued ($346 thousand combined potential value). Representative work includes a $936 thousand Air National Guard purchase order for engineer project manager services at Selfridge Air National Guard Base through March 24, 2028 (no set-aside); an $833 thousand Michigan National Guard 8(a) sole-source order for cyber-electromagnetic activity planning in Lansing through September 8, 2029; a $585 thousand Air National Guard 8(a) sole-source definitive contract for lodging and hotels in Marquette supporting temporary relocation of the 127th Air Refueling Group through August 31, 2024; and an $830 thousand Air Force 8(a) sole-source definitive contract for refuse and recycling services at Selfridge through September 30, 2026. Awards spanning event management, youth leadership camps, pre-deployment events, and family readiness programs round out the lodging and facility support portfolio.

Activity declined year over year — 22 awards in 2024, 9 in 2025, and 4 in 2026 year-to-date — with only one award (combined potential value $937 thousand) facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore exposed to recompete. The vendor's capability portfolio concentrates on hospitality, lodging coordination, event logistics, and facility management, with emerging work in military support services such as CEMA planning and mailroom operations. The top NAICS categories are Hotels (except Casino Hotels) and Motels (19 awards) and Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (2 awards), with primary PSC coding in Transportation/Travel/Relocation—Lodging, Hotel/Motel (16 awards) and Support—Professional: Other (3 awards). Blue Next operates exclusively as a prime and carries no subcontract footprint in the source data, positioning it as a direct service provider rather than a teaming player on larger defense and civilian contracts.
