Swiss Chalet Inc.

Swiss Chalet Inc. Doubletree By Hilton San Juan Division, doing business as Double Tree By Hilton San Juan, is a minority-owned and Hispanic American-owned for-profit hospitality provider based in San Juan, Puerto Rico that supplies temporary military lodging services to the Department of Defense exclusively as a prime contractor. The vendor competes on an unrestricted, full-and-open basis; roughly 25% of recent awards carry a Total Small Business set-aside, but no awards are reserved for any SBA program category such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Swiss Chalet operates the DoubleTree by Hilton San Juan hotel at 105 Avenida José de Diego in San Juan and specializes in berthing and temporary accommodations for Navy reservists, Marine Corps reservists, and Air Force National Guard personnel conducting monthly drills and annual training in Puerto Rico.

The vendor's federal footprint is entirely lodging-focused, classified under NAICS 721110 (Hotels except Casino Hotels and Motels) with performance at the single DoubleTree by Hilton San Juan property. Representative prime work includes a $279,442 definitive firm-fixed-price contract awarded by Air Combat Command in December 2023 to provide 265 hotel rooms (standard single, standard double, complimentary breakfast, parking, and laundry) to support an exercise at Muniz Air National Guard Base from December 10, 2023, through January 7, 2024; a $250,000 single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Navy Reserve (N6835825A0056) covering October 2024 through September 2025 for lodging services for Navy and Air Force reservists in berthing status; and a $150,000 single-award BPA with the Navy Reserve awarded October 1, 2025, running through September 30, 2026, under which the Navy Operational Support Centers issued four calls totaling $44,590 between December 2025 and March 2026.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Navy Reserve programs. The Department of the Navy Reserve accounts for 19 awards worth $3.1 million in combined potential value; when Navy Operational Support Centers ($112 thousand across 9 awards) are added as a related Navy entity, Navy customers anchor approximately 62% of the vendor's recent dollar volume. The United States Marine Corps places a high frequency of small task orders (14 awards) but with only $44 thousand combined potential value — monthly berthing calls for drilling reservists typically carry ceiling values under $4,000. The Department of the Air Force (7 awards, $350 thousand) primarily funds Air National Guard lodging for monthly drills, while the Department of the Army Reserve Command has placed 3 awards valued at $1 million. Activity has accelerated notably: one award in 2022, five in 2023, sixteen in 2024, and ten in 2025, with four awards already issued in 2026. Fifty-four of the vendor's fifty-seven total awards are classified under hotel/motel lodging; two awards carry housekeeping-food PSC codes.

The vendor holds multiple standing BPAs across the Navy Reserve and Air Force. The Navy Reserve maintains two principal blanket purchase agreements: a multiple-award BPA (N6835824A0026) with 12 task orders totaling $52 thousand combined potential value, and the single-award N6835825A0056 with 10 task orders worth $32 thousand. A third Navy BPA (N6835826A0052) accounts for 5 task orders valued at $52 thousand. The Air Force has established a $250,000 ceiling multiple-award BPA (awarded October 2024, completing February 2025) for Puerto Rico Air National Guard drills. The Army Reserve holds a BPA (W50S9325AA001) under which Swiss Chalet has received 3 task orders for $43 thousand. All BPA calls are firm fixed-price with no set-aside designation, enabling Swiss Chalet to compete directly against other hospitality vendors on each monthly or quarterly lodging requirement.

Eleven awards are completing by April 2027 (within the next twelve months from today's date of July 2026), representing $1.2 million in combined potential value and constituting recompete exposure for the vendor and opportunity for competing lodging providers. The vendor operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract activity in the federal footprint; all work is performed in-house at its own San Juan property. Obligated dollars total $300 thousand against $4.9 million in combined potential value, reflecting the typical pattern of military lodging BPAs where ceiling amounts reserve capacity but actual utilization varies with monthly drill schedules and training exercises. Swiss Chalet's competitive position rests on geographic specificity — its Puerto Rico location serves a geographically dispersed military reservist population conducting training at facilities across the island — and on the incumbent advantage of existing BPA relationships with Navy Reserve and Air Force customers placing recurring monthly calls.
