Government Lodging Specialists, LLC

Government Lodging Specialists, LLC, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in Savannah, Georgia, secures hotel accommodations and temporary lodging services for military personnel and federal employees as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides across Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs programs. The company holds 73 federal prime awards with no subcontract footprint, reflecting a pure lodging-procurement model: it identifies, negotiates, and books hotel rooms on behalf of federal agencies rather than operating its own facilities.

Government Lodging Specialists operates exclusively under NAICS 721110 (Hotels except Casino Hotels and Motels) and PSC transportation/travel/lodging codes. Work concentrates on short-duration task orders under indefinite delivery and blanket purchase agreement vehicles established with military commands. Representative prime awards include a $125,760 multiple-award IDIQ with the Air National Guard for 118th Wing Commander Lodging (period April 2024 to April 2026, with option to extend one year), from which the company issued multiple delivery orders for unit training assemblies and event lodging in Nashville and Savannah—individual orders ranging from $3,668 to $94,234. Additional named work includes a $74,687 BPA call with Air Force Space Command for lodging supporting inactive duty training (award October 2023), a $35,840 BPA call with the Air Force for troop housing lease/rental (October 2024), and patient lodging support to Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 across multiple BPA calls valued at $11,682 to $27,500 (November 2021 through April 2025). The company also holds active IDIQs with the Wyoming Army National Guard and Department of the Army Training and Doctrine Command for lodging services across multiple geographic locations.

Customer concentration by count skews heavily toward Air National Guard programs: the top five customers account for 60% of awards, led by the Air National Guard (21 awards, $2.3 million combined potential value), Wyoming Army National Guard (7 awards, $2.1 million), Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 (7 awards, $77 thousand), Air Force Space Command (5 awards, $775 thousand), and Coast Guard (4 awards, $682 thousand). By potential value, however, the ranking shifts: the top five customers account for 85% of combined potential value, with Department of the Army Training and Doctrine Command anchoring the portfolio at $10.1 million across three awards—indicating large single vehicles that dwarf the frequency-driven Air National Guard concentration. The company maintains $20.5 million in combined potential value across 73 awards against $3.8 million in obligated dollars (18% drawdown rate), consistent with the indefinite-delivery model where ceiling values represent multi-year standing authority rather than committed spend.

Activity shows variability: 8 awards in 2022, declining to 3 in 2023, recovering to 12 in 2024, then dropping to 4 in 2025 and 1 in 2026 (as of July 2026). The company competes across multiple parent vehicles, with the top vehicles being Indefinite Delivery Contract W50S9724DA001 (8 task orders, $52 thousand), W50S9721D0003 (7 task orders, $298 thousand), and Blanket Purchase Agreements 36C25920A0006 (6 task orders, $77 thousand) and FA251721A0004 (5 task orders, $311 thousand). Set-aside posture spans total small business, competitive 8(a)-equivalent set-asides, and full-and-open awards with small business priority, reflecting the company's WOSB and SDB eligibility across multiple vehicle types. Government Lodging Specialists operates as a pure marketplace intermediary—it holds no operating properties, maintains no permanent staffing at customer locations, and executes work through existing commercial hotel inventory, positioning it as a service broker rather than a facilities operator.
