Courtyard Management Corporation

Courtyard Management Corporation, doing business as Courtyard By Marriott, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business and for-profit organization headquartered in Waukegan, Illinois. The company provides temporary berthing and lodging services to the federal government, specifically supporting the operational readiness and training requirements of the U.S. Navy Reserve by furnishing hotel accommodations for Selected Reserve (SELRES) personnel attending drill weekends, annual training exercises, and monthly inactive duty training periods.

Since October 2022, Courtyard Management Corporation has consistently delivered temporary berthing services exclusively to the U.S. Navy Reserve through multiple firm-fixed-price blanket purchase agreement call contracts. The company's service offering centers on providing double-occupancy hotel rooms at its primary facility in Waukegan, Illinois, specifically designed to accommodate Navy reservists who reside more than 50 miles from their assigned drill site locations. Over the past four fiscal years, the company has received approximately 35 individual BPA call orders ranging from $939 to $6,675 in value, with most orders providing 20 double-occupancy rooms, though some months have required fewer rooms based on operational needs. The call contracts do not utilize small business set-asides despite the company's self-certified small disadvantaged business status, indicating the Navy Reserve values Courtyard Management Corporation's services on a competitive, open basis. All contracts maintain firm-fixed-price structures and align with the Navy Reserve's fiscal year performance periods (October 1 through September 30), supporting the agency's mission to maintain personnel readiness across its reserve component during both routine training cycles and contingency operations. The geographic concentration of Courtyard Management Corporation's federal business at its Waukegan, Illinois location, combined with its consistent delivery of accommodations near Naval Station Great Lakes, has established the company as a primary vendor for Navy Reserve berthing requirements.

Courtyard Management Corporation currently holds four multiple-award blanket purchase agreements with the U.S. Navy Reserve, each carrying a $200,000 ceiling value and structured as indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts to enable flexible, as-needed procurement of temporary lodging. The most recent BPA, awarded October 1, 2025, runs through September 30, 2026 and establishes pre-negotiated rates for double-occupancy hotel accommodations at Courtyard By Marriott properties for SELRES personnel performing two inactive duty training drills per night of lodging. The preceding three IDV agreements cover the performance periods October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025; October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024; and October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023, demonstrating consistent contract renewal and sustained confidence in the contractor's ability to deliver services aligned with Navy Reserve training schedules and personnel movement requirements. These BPA vehicles do not fall under parent contract vehicles and represent direct awards from the Navy Reserve, with task orders issued on an as-needed basis to accommodate seasonal training variations and operational demands. The multiple-award structure of these blanket purchase agreements provides the Navy Reserve with operational flexibility in managing berthing logistics while maintaining cost predictability through pre-established pricing, enabling the agency to efficiently support reserve component personnel readiness without requiring competitive bidding on individual lodging requests.
