Quick Summary
The Arkansas Army National Guard Contracting intends to award a sole source Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for Billeting Services to Camp Robinson Billeting Fund in North Little Rock, AR. This BPA will cover lodging for soldiers attending classes at the Regional Training Institute (RTI) when on-post capacity is exceeded. The proposed period of performance is from April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2031.
Scope of Work
This BPA will provide on-post billeting services for soldiers attending training at the Arkansas Army National Guard Regional Training Institute (RTI). These services are required when the RTI's own facilities reach capacity, ensuring soldiers are housed on post due to training, mission, security, and travel requirements. The billeting rate is set at $20.00 per night per student.

Justification for Sole Source
The decision to award a sole source BPA to Camp Robinson Billeting Fund is based on a Justification Review Document citing 10 U.S.C. 2304(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1. The justification highlights that the CJTR Billeting Office is the only facility on post capable of providing the required on-post nightly lodging for RTI students. This is crucial for maintaining training schedules, ensuring security, and accommodating students who lack independent transportation and rely on the on-post dining facility. Market research indicated that off-post commercial hotels are significantly more expensive and not located on Camp Robinson, making on-post billeting essential for efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
