CL1 Philadelphia LLC

CL1 Philadelphia LLC, doing business as Sheraton Downtown Philadelphia, operates as a self-certified small disadvantaged business providing hotel conference space, audiovisual equipment, catering, and continuing professional education training facilities to federal agencies as a prime contractor under full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations.

The vendor's federal footprint centers almost entirely on the Internal Revenue Service, which accounts for 9 of 12 total awards (100% of recent activity, $274 thousand combined potential value). The IRS engages CL1 Philadelphia for recurring one-time purchase orders to host face-to-face technical training and continuing professional education sessions for the Field Examination and Small Business/Self-Employed divisions, typically spanning two to five-day periods at values near $34,200 per session. Three additional awards from the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command ($39,595.80 for a Weapon Systems Support symposium in January 2026), the Department of Veterans Affairs ($34 thousand), and the Environmental Protection Agency Region 3 ($22 thousand) round out the vendor's recent customer set. All four agencies purchase the same core capability: on-site hotel meeting space and training support in Philadelphia.

The vendor competes on individual purchase orders without reliance on standing vehicles or blanket purchase agreements. All twelve awards are firm-fixed-price purchase orders issued without set-aside designation, indicating full-and-open competition. Activity shows a spike pattern — one award in 2019, then ten awards across 2024, then one award in early 2026 — driven entirely by IRS training-event cycles rather than sustained contract volume. The combined federal footprint totals $369 thousand, with $369 thousand already obligated, leaving no unexercised ceiling or pipeline visibility beyond the single January 2026 Naval Supply order. The vendor's NAICS profile is primary Hotels (except Casino Hotels) and Motels, with PSC work split between Education/Training-Lectures (8 awards) and Lease/Rental of Conference Space and Facilities (3 awards). CL1 Philadelphia operates as a limited liability company with headquarters at 201 N 17th Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and does not participate in standing government-wide vehicles, agency IDIQs, or BPAs — it bids and performs transactional, event-by-event conference support work.
