Shortgrass Hospitality LLC

Shortgrass Hospitality LLC, a for-profit partnership based in Rapid City, South Dakota, provides temporary military lodging and meal services to the Department of the Air Force and the Department of the Army Wyoming Army National Guard exclusively as a prime contractor under full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside vehicles. The vendor holds no federal IDVs, GWACs, or agency-wide contracts and does not subcontract; all nineteen awards in the source footprint are direct prime contracts or call orders issued against existing BPAs.

Shortgrass Hospitality's capability portfolio is narrowly focused on short-notice hotel room procurement and meal support for military training and readiness operations in Wyoming, principally in Cheyenne. The vendor secures blocks of rooms — single king or queen and double queen configurations — at properties such as the Comfort Inn to support Wyoming Army National Guard inactive duty training weekends, individual duty training exercises, and Air Force training events. Representative prime work includes a $700,000 multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement established with the U.S. Air Force on March 26, 2025 (performance period through March 25, 2030), against which two BPA calls were issued in June 2026 for lodging in Cheyenne totaling $10,370 combined ceiling value; a $19,200 composite award from the Air Force in September 2025 for temporary lodging June through September 2025 in Rapid City under three BPA call orders; and historical call orders issued against an Army National Guard BPA from 2021 through early 2025, ranging from $1,152 to $5,088 per call.

Customer concentration is split between two defense agencies. The Department of the Air Force accounts for nine awards (eight prime contracts plus one Air National Guard award) with $1.6 million combined potential value, anchored by the $700,000 multiple-award BPA. The Department of the Army Wyoming Army National Guard issued ten awards with $727 thousand combined potential value. Together these three entities represent 100% of awards in the source footprint. Activity has been uneven — five awards in 2021, four in 2022, three each in 2024 and 2025, and two in 2026 — with total combined potential value of $2.3 million and combined obligated dollars of $96 thousand (4% of ceiling). The vendor operates under two named parent BPAs: one with the Army National Guard (W912L321A0003, eight task orders, $27 thousand combined value) and one with the Air Force (W50S8W25AA004, four task orders, $730 thousand combined value). The vendor's award footprint is exclusively NAICS 721110 (Hotels except Casino Hotels and Motels) and PSC R799 (Transportation/Travel/Relocation—Lodging, Hotel/Motel), with geographic scope limited to Wyoming locations within twenty miles of National Guard armories.
