Ehrhardt Hospitality LLC

Ehrhardt Hospitality LLC, operating the Candlewood Suites division and doing business as Residence Inn By Marriott, is a small business based in Hannibal, Missouri that provides temporary lodging services to the U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The company competes exclusively under small-business reserves, with all 58 awards in the recent portfolio carrying small-business designations across Blanket Purchase Agreements for the 183rd Wing of the Illinois Air National Guard.

Ehrhardt Hospitality's federal footprint is narrow and concentrated. The company serves two customer agencies — the Department of the Air Force and the Department of the Air Force Air National Guard — accounting for 98% of its recent awards. By potential value, the Air National Guard dominates with 22 awards valued at $2.9 million combined, while the Air Force holds 35 awards worth $760 thousand combined; however, obligated dollars across the entire portfolio total only $276 thousand (7% of combined potential), reflecting the short-duration, firm-fixed-price nature of individual lodging calls. The company operates exclusively within NAICS 721110 (Hotels except Casino Hotels and Motels) and PSC code Q-Transportation/Travel/Relocation-Lodging, with all work performed at Candlewood Suites properties in Springfield, Illinois and Evergreen, Alabama.

Ehrhardt Hospitality holds four active BPAs. The two primary vehicles — Blanket Purchase Agreements W50S7U21A0002 (18 task orders, $85 thousand combined potential value) and W50S7U23A0006 (18 task orders, $92 thousand combined potential value) — both run through March 31, 2026 and support 183rd Wing regularly scheduled drills, makeup drills, training, and general operations. A newer Army BPA (W91SMC13A0005) carries the largest footprint with 15 task orders valued at $2.3 million combined, suggesting expansion beyond the Illinois Air National Guard. The most recent master BPA (W50S7U26AA004), awarded March 1, 2026 with a $350,000 ceiling and extending through February 28, 2029, signals a recompete vehicle for the Springfield operations; this multiple-award BPA specifies 24/7 front-desk operations, daily housekeeping, individual temperature controls, and guest security protocols for rooms within thirteen miles of Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport.

Activity has contracted sharply. The company received nine awards in 2022 and ten in 2023, dropping to four in 2024 and six in 2025, with three task orders issued in 2026 year-to-date. The two primary Air Force/Air National Guard BPAs (W50S7U21A0002 and W50S7U23A0006) both expire March 31, 2026, representing $177 thousand in combined potential value at recompete risk in the immediate window. Ehrhardt Hospitality holds no subcontracts and operates as a 100% prime contractor; the company does not participate in government-wide acquisition contracts, multi-agency IDIQs, or GSA schedules. Federal exposure remains confined to temporary lodging task orders for a single military unit's drill cycle, with no diversification across service branches, agencies, or geographies beyond Springfield and Evergreen.
