Entities wishing to be added to this list are instructed to submit their details via SAM.gov, with the Air Force indicating a periodic update to the list as new submissions are received.

The Air Force Installation & Mission Support Center is rolling out the Commercial On-Base Lodging (COBL) program to address the deficiencies in the Department of the Air Force (DAF) lodging facilities, which consist of about 17,000 rooms across U.S. installations. Since 2019, DAF Lodging has operated solely on non-appropriated funds, which have proven insufficient for maintaining the aging properties. The COBL initiative, sanctioned in January 2024, aims to leverage private-sector partnerships to enhance service and quality standards by commercializing on-base lodging operations. The plan includes leasing to national hotel brands, allowing for industry-standard quality and using private capital for facility upgrades and maintenance. The phased selection process for private partners will begin with "Group A" installations, and it is anticipated that the total room count will decrease while allowing more flexibility for official travelers regarding lodging preferences. An extensive timeline outlines the key milestones from data collection in 2024 to the potential awarding of contracts by mid-2026. Interested vendors are encouraged to stay informed through the official SAM.gov website, where they can access ongoing updates and opportunities related to the COBL program.

The Department of the Air Force (DAF) responses pertain to Notice ID AFCOBL-24-0001, focusing on the Collaborative On-Base Lodging (COBL) program. The performance locations are approximately 60 DAF installations throughout CONUS and Alaska, including Joint Base San Antonio. The program will not cover lodging requests for overseas installations. Currently, the DAF operates around 17,000 hotel rooms across these bases, which will be incorporated into the COBL program. Responding offerors must propose a comprehensive plan detailing the number and type of hotels at each base, including branding choices, based on historical data and business viability. The program encompasses various lodging options like Visiting Quarters and Temporary Lodging Facilities, ensuring diverse accommodation availability at DAF locations. The DAF’s initiative seeks to modernize and enhance lodging services for military personnel while maintaining operational flexibility across different installations.
