Duluth Travel Inc.

Duluth Travel Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) and veteran-owned small business (VOSB) headquartered in Johns Creek, Georgia, operates as a travel management company and lodging services provider to federal agencies, competing entirely as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) under Total Small Business set-asides and full-and-open designations on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and agency-specific blanket purchase agreements.

Duluth Travel's capability footprint centers on commercial airline booking, travel management, temporary lodging reservations, berthing services, hotel accommodations, transportation assistance, and specialized travel support for federal personnel engaged in training, inactive duty, emergency response, and international operations. Representative work includes a $29.1 million delivery order from the Department of Veterans Affairs Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick (awarded September 2026, completing September 2027) for commercial carrier airline booking and travel management services under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule; a $1.57 million delivery order from the Coast Guard (awarded June 2023, completing August 2028) for temporary lodging and berthing for reserve personnel performing inactive duty training; a $1.39 million definitive contract from the Coast Guard (awarded June 2025, completing May 2030) for D13 berthing services for reservists in Seattle, Washington; and a $2.87 million delivery order from the Coast Guard (awarded March 2024, completing February 2027) for temporary lodging and berthing for Norfolk-based reservists, which invoiced $213 thousand in FY2024 across 0.2 FTEs at a derived government-paid rate of $532.32 per hour.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward defense and veterans affairs agencies. The Department of Veterans Affairs Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick anchors 47% of combined potential value ($29.1 million of $62.4 million total) through the single massive September 2026 delivery order; the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 ranks first by award count (12 awards, $484 thousand combined potential value), while the Department of Homeland Security Coast Guard places second by count (12 awards, $7.1 million) but carries significantly higher dollars. Across the top five customers by potential value—VA Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick, VA Technology Acquisition Center Austin ($13 million across 4 awards), Coast Guard ($7.1 million across 12 awards), GSA Federal Acquisition Service ($6.2 million across 4 awards), and the Federal Trade Commission ($630 thousand)—these agencies represent 90% of combined potential value. The two rankings diverge sharply: the VA VISN 6 places many small orders while the VA Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick and TA Austin anchor the dollar pipeline.

Duluth Travel operates exclusively through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, holding 52 task orders valued at $46.5 million combined potential value as its primary vehicle. The vendor also maintains blanket purchase agreements with the Alabama National Guard ($500 thousand ceiling through July 2028, with recent calls ranging from $10 thousand to $70 thousand), the Coast Guard (a $350 thousand Total Small Business BPA through December 2024 with historical calls for ice reconnaissance and temporary lodging support), and a $4.3 million GSA MAS-hosted BPA awarded March 2026 with five task order calls to date (Department of Education, USPTO, Millennium Challenge Corporation and affiliated agencies, Commodity Futures Trading Commission and affiliated agencies, and Federal Communications Commission and affiliated agencies) totaling approximately $1.28 million. A $475 thousand GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract (awarded November 2024, performing through November 2029) provides self-service and full-service travel bookings at transaction fees ranging $12.60 to $43.10, VIP support at $65.99 per itinerary, passport and visa processing at $398.99 per request, and after-hours support at $30.23 per call.

Activity has fluctuated modestly over the past five years—one award in 2022, eleven each in 2023 and 2024, seven in 2025, and eight in 2026 through mid-September—with six awards (combined potential value $33.9 million) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore facing recompete exposure. The September 2026 VA delivery order dominates the recompete cliff; its September 2027 completion date creates significant recompete risk for the vendor and corresponding opportunity for competitors. SCI-reported federal service contract invoicing across three fiscal years (FY2023–FY2025) totaled $976 thousand, with FY2024 carrying $488 thousand across 0.4 FTEs and FY2025 showing $417 thousand with no FTE activity recorded—a reflection of the vendor's service-delivery model in which most work is lodging procurement rather than direct labor services. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Duluth Travel performed all contractor hours without subcontractor engagement (0% sub-hours share), with government-paid hourly rates ranging from $303.26 at the 10th percentile to a median of $532.32 and $595.66 at the 90th percentile, reflecting lodging and travel coordination labor pricing.

Duluth Travel competes entirely under small-business set-asides—predominantly Total Small Business (the majority of awards since 2023) with occasional full-and-open and service-disabled veteran-owned sole-source placements. The vendor has built standing relationships with the Coast Guard (across multiple IDVs and recurring calls), the Alabama National Guard (a $500 thousand BPA with active call activity), the Department of Agriculture, FEMA, and an expanding roster of civilian agencies ordering through the GSA MAS. The source identifies prior portfolio work across the Naval Education and Training Command, the Department of the Army, and the Air National Guard, positioning Duluth Travel as an established provider for military training and reserve personnel lodging nationwide.
