D&E Investments, LLC

D&E Investments, LLC, doing business as The Holiday Inn Conference Center Downtown, is a minority-owned small business providing temporary military lodging accommodations in Helena, Montana as a prime contractor (100% of awards) under total small business set-asides. The company is a limited liability partnership based at 22 N Last Chance Gulch in Helena and holds a SAM.gov registration dating to October 2008, with all eighteen recent federal awards concentrated in military-readiness lodging across four defense customers.

The company's capability footprint is singular: temporary accommodations for service members and personnel conducting operations and training at its Holiday Inn Conference Center Downtown facility in Helena and at a subordinate location at Fort Harrison, Montana. Representative work includes a $250 thousand single-award BPA with the Department of the Army (awarded February 23, 2026, running through February 2031) for on-demand lodging to the Montana Army National Guard; a $220 thousand single-award BPA with the Navy Reserve (awarded October 1, 2022, through September 30, 2026) for lodging to naval reservists residing more than fifty miles from their Navy Reserve Center and performing two Inactive Duty Training drills; and multiple $250 thousand BPA calls issued by the Department of the Air Force Air National Guard (October 2024 through January 2025) for indefinite-delivery lodging supporting operations and training events.

Customer concentration is narrow and defense-focused. The Department of the Army accounts for fourteen awards totaling $2.567 million combined potential value (including six Montana Army National Guard sub-calls), the Department of the Air Force Air National Guard holds three awards worth $750 thousand, and the Department of the Navy Reserve holds one award of $220 thousand — together 100% of recent awards and combined potential value. The company operates under a single parent vehicle, Blanket Purchase Agreement W9124V21A0007, against which eleven task orders have been called with $2.8 million combined potential value. Activity is flat to declining: four awards in 2021, dropping to one in 2022, then stabilizing at three awards annually in 2023, 2024, and 2026. The company has obligated only $86 thousand against a combined potential value of $3.5 million, a 2% realization rate reflecting the indefinite-delivery structure and modest draw rates on the military lodging calls. All eighteen awards are set aside for total small business except the two IDVs and one Air National Guard BPA call issued under no set-aside designation, indicating the company competes almost exclusively in the small-business category across its defense customer base.

Company owns a Double Tree by Hilton Hotel in Helena, MT. Hotel provides guest accommodations, catering, and event services. Hotel has a pool, fitness center, business center. Hotel also has an Italian restaurant available for guest use.
