The Atchison Group, Inc.

The Atchison Group, Inc., doing business as Carpet And, provides furnished extended-stay accommodations, corporate housing rentals, and relocation assistance to federal agencies as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) operating in full-and-open categories with no set-aside designations. The company is a for-profit, tax-exempt domestic shelter Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado, primarily classified under NAICS 531110 (Lessors of Residential Buildings and Dwellings) and PSC S-8405 (Transportation/Travel/Relocation—Lodging, Hotel/Motel).

The Atchison Group's customer base is heavily concentrated in a single agency. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives accounts for 134 awards (61% of the 219 total awards in the portfolio) carrying $11.6 million in combined potential value, with secondary customers scattered across other civilian agencies. The Department of State Bureau of Human Resources anchors the potential-value ranking at $60.1 million across six awards, driven by a large single procurement. The Federal Emergency Management Agency Region 6, the GSA Federal Acquisition Service, and the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration round out the top five by potential value. This concentration pattern reflects Atchison's established role as the ATF's primary lodging vendor, supporting federal personnel across training programs (particularly the National Firearms Examiner Academy) and extended temporary-duty rotations.

Atchison's federal work channels predominantly through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), where it holds 179 task orders totaling $10 million in combined potential value. The vendor maintains an indefinite delivery vehicle—a Blanket Purchase Agreement with the ATF valued at $3.518 million running through March 29, 2030 (awarded September 30, 2024)—which serves as the primary engine for its federal lodging business. The BPA establishes nationwide scope for furnished apartments, extended-stay hotels, corporate housing, and relocation assistance. Representative BPA calls include a $159,615.00 call awarded December 5, 2025 (completing October 16, 2026), a $144,867.03 call awarded January 24, 2026 (completing May 23, 2026), and a $135,041.00 call awarded September 4, 2025 (completing August 22, 2027), all in Greenwood Village, Colorado at firm fixed prices. A smaller GSA Federal Acquisition Service BPA carries $4.7 million in combined potential value. Atchison also holds a delivery-order vehicle—an Indefinite Delivery Contract—valued at $25.1 million with five task orders.

Award activity has declined markedly over the past four years: from 26 awards in 2022 to 10 in 2024, 5 in 2025, and 4 in 2026 year to date. The portfolio carries minimal near-term recompete risk, with only four awards (combined potential value $434 thousand) scheduled for completion within the next twenty-four months. SCI-reported service-contract activity is minimal, reflecting fewer than one FTE on a single named-subcontractor record in FY2025; the source indicates Atchison performed as a named sub on one contract above the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold during that fiscal year. The vast majority of the vendor's federal activity flows through small-dollar BPA calls and purchase orders—individual lodging tasks typically in the $12,000 to $160,000 range—rather than through larger service-delivery contracts captured in SCI. Atchison operates as a prime contractor on its full footprint with negligible sub-award activity: two sub-awards (Weeks Marine on a dredging project and Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies on a reimbursable facilities management program) represent less than 1% of the award count and appear unrelated to its core housing business. The vendor is not positioned as a feeder subcontractor to larger primes; it builds and delivers its own lodging portfolios directly to federal agencies.
