Sonesta Fifty Hotel, LLC

Sonesta Fifty Hotel, LLC, operating as The Fifty Sonesta Select New York, provides hotel accommodations and conference facilities to the Department of State as a prime contractor in a full-and-open posture, holding self-certified small disadvantaged business status without competing under formal set-asides on recent awards. The hotel, located at 155 East 50th Street in Manhattan, generated six federal purchase orders totaling $238 thousand across the past three years (2023–2026), all obligated at their ceiling values.

Customer concentration is singular and stable. The Department of State's Bureau of International Organization Affairs placed four awards ($133 thousand combined potential value) for hotel rooms and conference services, and the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs placed two awards ($105 thousand) for conference and hotel facilities. The two bureaus account for 100% of the vendor's recent award volume and dollar value. Award frequency has remained flat at one to two purchase orders per year, with no growth trajectory.

Sonesta's federal posture is entirely prime-contract work — no subcontracting or sub-recipient relationships appear in the source. The vendor competes for purchase orders on a full-and-open basis despite self-certified small disadvantaged business status; five of six awards carried no set-aside designation, with only one 2023 award marked Total Small Business. The primary PSC is Transportation/Travel/Relocation—Travel/Lodging/Recruitment: Lodging, Hotel/Motel; the primary NAICS is Hotels (except Casino Hotels) and Motels.

Recent representative awards include a $32.4 thousand purchase order from the Bureau of International Organization Affairs effective August 1, 2026 for lodging and hospitality services through January 31, 2027; a $31.5 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from the same bureau dated July 22, 2025 for hotel accommodations and conference facilities supporting diplomatic activities through November 30, 2025; and a $56 thousand purchase order from the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs dated June 30, 2024 for hotel services supporting government events through October 31, 2024. All awards emphasize support for diplomatic conferences, international delegations, and State Department functions near the United Nations and other Manhattan-based international venues. One award (combined potential value $32 thousand) faces recompete completion within the next twenty-four months.
