JK Helena LLC

JK Helena LLC, doing business as Holiday Inn Express - Helena, operates a single-location hotel in Helena, Montana providing temporary lodging to the Department of the Army, Montana Army National Guard, and Navy Reserve as a small disadvantaged business prime contractor under total small business set-asides and simplified acquisition procedures. The vendor is a limited liability partnership and self-certified small disadvantaged business competing exclusively through small business set-asides on military lodging requirements.

JK Helena's federal footprint consists entirely of Blanket Purchase Agreements and task orders under those BPAs for short-term hotel accommodations at its Holiday Inn Express property. The vendor holds a four-year single-award BPA with the Department of the Army (awarded April 1, 2026, ceiling $250,000, running through March 31, 2031) to provide lodging for the Montana Army National Guard, including support for training events and the State Partnership Program. A second single-award BPA with Navy Reserve (awarded October 1, 2022, $220,000 ceiling, expiring September 30, 2026) provides lodging for Navy reservists residing more than fifty miles from the Naval Reserve Center in Helena performing inactive duty training drills. Representative task orders under these BPAs include a June 2026 BPA call from the Army for 70 lodging rooms at $132 per room supporting the RC26 Exercise (ceiling $250,000), an August 2023 purchase order for RC23 State Partnership Program lodging, and quarterly Army lodging calls throughout 2023.

Customer concentration is split between the Department of the Army and Montana Army National Guard (combined seven awards, $750,000 combined potential value across both rankings) and Navy Reserve components (nine awards, $241,000 combined potential value). Over the past five years, award frequency has been sparse and episodic — one award in 2020, two in 2021, one in 2022, two in 2023, and two in 2026 — with combined potential value across all sixteen awards totaling $1.7 million. The vendor operates solely as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint. All awards fall under NAICS 721110 (Hotels except Casino Hotels and Motels) and PSC code Transportation/Travel/Relocation—Lodging, Hotel/Motel. The vendor does not hold seats on government-wide contract vehicles and competes exclusively through agency-specific BPAs and task orders under simplified acquisition procedures at or below the $250,000 BPA ceiling.
