Vh-Minneapolis South Inc.

Vh-Minneapolis South Inc., doing business as DoubleTree Bloomington Minneapolis South, operates the DoubleTree hotel property at 7800 Normandale Boulevard in Bloomington, Minnesota, and provides event services—lodging, meals, meeting space, and audio-visual support—to federal agencies as a prime contractor on a for-profit, subchapter S corporation basis. The vendor competes exclusively on full-and-open, unset-aside delivery orders and purchase orders, with the exception of seven small-business-set-aside awards from the Minnesota Army National Guard. All thirty-one awards in the vendor's federal footprint are prime contracts; the vendor has no subcontract work.

Customer concentration is extreme and unidirectional. The Department of the Army Reserve Command accounts for twenty-one awards (68% of total count) worth $7 million in combined potential value—approximately 95% of the vendor's total federal pipeline. These awards are task orders under a single-award Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contract (W911SA21D3006) valued at $4,046,350 and running from August 2021 through July 2026. The Army Reserve places recurring delivery orders under this IDV to support the Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program, a military family readiness and personnel support initiative that uses the DoubleTree's facilities for multi-day events. The Minnesota Army National Guard holds seven awards, primarily small-business-set-aside purchase orders for banquet venue and meal services, worth $384 thousand combined. Two remaining awards from the Department of Agriculture (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service and Veterinary Services) and one from the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 provide audio-visual support and lodging for specialized events. Combined potential value across all awards is $7.4 million, of which $3.4 million (46%) is obligated.

Activity has declined substantially. The vendor received ten awards in 2022, five in 2023, three in 2024, six in 2025, and two in 2026 through October. Only one award—an APHIS purchase order for $20,694 expiring November 6, 2026—reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing minimal recompete cliff. The vendor's federal footprint is concentrated almost entirely in a single parent vehicle (W911SA21D3006), and the vast majority of work is routine transactional lodging and meal service delivery rather than strategic capability development. The vendor's capability is place-based: the quality of the contract position depends entirely on the Army Reserve Command's continued reliance on the Bloomington location and the Yellow Ribbon program's sustained funding and event frequency.
