Gulf Ventures Associates, LLC

Gulf Ventures Associates, LLC operates the Best Western Landmark Hotel & Suites in Metairie, Louisiana, and is registered as a self-certified small disadvantaged business. The company primarily provides lodging services to federal agencies, specifically focusing on temporary accommodations for government personnel. As a corporate entity registered in SAM.gov since August 31, 2001, Gulf Ventures Associates specializes in offering hotel rooms and related hospitality services to support government operations, particularly for military and defense-related personnel conducting training, operations, and other official activities.

The company has consistently secured federal contract awards from the U.S. Department of the Air Force for lodging services. These contracts are predominantly issued as Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) calls and are designated under total small business set-asides, which align with the company's small disadvantaged business certification. The contract awards typically range from $7,455 to $23,047.50 and involve providing temporary accommodations for Air Force personnel in the Harvey and Metairie, Louisiana regions. Each contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price arrangement, supporting short-term lodging needs for military staff engaged in various operational, training, and administrative activities.

Gulf Ventures Associates holds a significant multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with the Air Force, identified by the contract number W50S7Z23A0007. This BPA has a ceiling value of $1,000,000 and runs through July 5, 2025, allowing the Air Force to issue task orders for lodging services as needed. The agreement enables streamlined procurement of temporary accommodations, with individual task orders typically ranging between $11,445 and $11,550. This BPA represents a strategic procurement approach by the Air Force to efficiently secure lodging services for personnel through a pre-competitively negotiated contract vehicle, leveraging the capabilities of a small disadvantaged business to meet their temporary housing requirements.
