About the company
Palace Travel, Inc. Head Quarters Division, doing business as Palace Travel, is a Philadelphia-based, SBA 8(a)-certified minority-owned small disadvantaged business that operates as a prime contractor delivering event planning, venue management, catering, lodging coordination, and conference hosting services to federal military and civilian agencies under sole-source and full-and-open 8(a) awards. Black American-owned and DOT-certified as a disadvantaged business enterprise, Palace Travel holds active 8(a) certification through November 17, 2027, and competes predominantly under 8(a) sole-source set-asides, with occasional full-and-open task orders under existing BPAs.
Palace Travel's federal footprint concentrates on military personnel and family support events. The vendor serves nine distinct federal agencies across 34 prime awards carrying combined potential value of $5.8 million (with $1.4 million obligated to date). The Department of the Army Pennsylvania Army National Guard dominates the award count, accounting for 22 awards totaling $1.5 million in combined potential value, driven by recurring Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Conferences and unit training assemblies. However, the dollar rankings reveal material exposure beyond the National Guard: the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) holds a single $3.7 million BPA awarded August 19, 2024, through August 11, 2029, for conference, meeting, event, and trade show planning services, anchoring 64% of Palace Travel's combined potential value despite representing just 3% of the award count. The Department of Agriculture, the United States Marine Corps, and the Department of the Air Force's Air National Guard account for the remaining concentration.
Palace Travel holds two BPAs as its primary contract vehicles. The Pennsylvania National Guard BPA, a single-award vehicle valued at $700,000 (awarded January 7, 2025, through January 14, 2030), has generated ten task orders totaling $435,000 in combined potential value since inception. Recent calls under this vehicle include a $81,936 Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Conference at Pittsburgh International Airport (August 15–16, 2026, 8(a) sole source), a $44,605 in-person Yellow Ribbon event in Langhorne, Pennsylvania (August 1, 2026, 8(a) sole source), and a $33,610 Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Conference in Champion, Pennsylvania (July 17, 2026). The ASPR BPA carries no set-aside designation and authorizes Palace Travel to execute large-scale federal event logistics on an as-needed basis. Palace Travel operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the available source data.
Activity has remained relatively flat, with five to six awards annually from 2022 through 2026, and all 34 awards cluster within two primary capability areas: housekeeping and food service (13 awards), and lodging and hotel accommodations (7 awards), reflecting the vendor's focus on military readiness events and reintegration programming. Recent work spanning 2024–2026 includes lodging reservations for Air National Guard drills, meal coordination for Army training assemblies, venue and catering for Yellow Ribbon events across Pennsylvania military installations, and equipment rentals supporting Department of Defense operations. Palace Travel's competitive posture relies heavily on 8(a) sole-source designation, particularly with the Pennsylvania National Guard, though recent ASPR BPA calls have been issued on a non-set-aside basis, signaling potential for expansion into full-and-open federal event logistics markets.
