Who can bid
This opportunity is a total small business set-aside, meaning only American small business concerns may submit offers. The business must qualify as small under NAICS 721110 size standards, which uses employee-based thresholds rather than revenue-based ones for this industry code. See the solicitation for the specific size standard applicable.
Offerors should be prepared to provide:
- Commercial lodging and meal services compliant with military operational requirements
- Capability to serve a National Guard unit's schedule, which typically includes weekend drills and annual training periods
- See the solicitation for any required security clearances, insurance levels, or facility certifications
Businesses new to federal contracting should have an active SAM.gov registration, valid Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), and appropriate North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code registration.
How to put together a competitive bid
For lodging and meals solicitations, agencies typically evaluate on price and past performance. Consider these factors:
Operational plan: Detail your capacity to provide consistent meal service and maintain lodging readiness aligned with military training calendars. The 109th HSAD likely operates on a part-time training schedule; see the solicitation for exact service days and meal counts.
Past performance: Document comparable work with military units, government agencies, or commercial hospitality contracts of similar scale. GSA's Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) ratings matter if this contract exceeds simplified acquisition thresholds.
Pricing structure: Government meal contracts often use per-meal rates or per-person-per-day pricing. Review the solicitation's pricing instructions carefully—lodging and meals may be priced separately or as a bundled daily rate.
Staffing and location: Proximity to Ashland City reduces transportation costs and improves response reliability. Identify whether you will use existing facilities or subcontract lodging; factor Tennessee state hospitality taxes and any military tax exemptions into your pricing.
Small business credentials: If you hold SBA certifications (8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, SDVOSB), verify whether any subcontracting limitations or bonuses apply, even under a general small business set-aside.
