Swami Investment Inc.

Swami Investment Inc., doing business as Candlewood Suites, operates as a minority-owned, small disadvantaged business providing temporary lodging, ground transportation, and meal services to the U.S. Army and Navy on a 100% prime-contractor basis. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation with Subcontinent Asian American ownership, headquartered in Kansas City, Kansas, and competes without set-aside designations in full-and-open procurements, winning awards across NAICS 722110 (Hotels except Casino Hotels and Motels) and PSC code T — all 66 recent awards fall within lodging and travel services.

The company's customer concentration is extreme and monolithic. The Department of the Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) accounts for 46 awards (98% of award count) and $28.4 million (98% of combined potential value) across the recent award footprint. The remaining four customers — the Department of the Navy Reserve, the Navy Reserve Operational Support Centers, the Kansas Army National Guard, and the Army Materiel Command at Fort Leavenworth — collectively represent two percent of awards and potential value. The company's geographic footprint is equally concentrated: nearly all work is performed in Kansas City, Kansas, supporting Fort Leavenworth military training operations and court proceedings.

Swami Investment holds two primary BPAs, both with TRADOC. The lead vehicle is a $7 million multiple-award BPA (W91QF423A0003, awarded March 8, 2023, valid through March 7, 2028) for Fort Leavenworth off-post lodging services, which has generated 13 task orders totaling $301 thousand in combined potential value as of the latest data. A second legacy BPA (W91QF415A0051) produced 16 task orders for $2.6 million combined potential value. Two additional BPAs with the Navy Reserve (N6830620A0003 and N6830621A0023) account for 15 combined task orders and $32 thousand combined potential value. Representative work includes a $106,260 BPA call (March 1, 2025) for student lodging and ground transportation supporting TRADOC training; a $12,540 call (July 27, 2024) for lodging supporting the SHARP Instructor Basic training program; and a $1,140 call (June 22, 2026) for temporary lodging of defense witnesses in U.S. v. PFC Jarlego court-martial proceedings.

Activity has remained episodic over the past five years — three awards in 2022, one in 2023, five in 2024, seven in 2025, and one in 2026 — with $4.5 million of the $29 million combined potential value obligated to date, indicating a 15% cash realization rate and heavy reliance on BPA call velocity rather than large single orders. Swami Investment holds no subcontractor relationships; all federal work is performed as a prime.
