Placemakr Wins Guard Housing Order for D.C. Troops

The General Services Administration signed delivery order 47QMCB26F000U with Placemakr, Inc., an apartment-hotel operator, for long-term lodging for troops on the Joint Task Force-D.C. mission. The federal award record carries the signing date.

The “$292 million” in coverage is a ceiling. The federal record carries 292139130.96 as the value with all options and 80196945 as the base value, with no obligation recorded against the order. That is a potential-value figure, not money committed.

The order was awarded through full and open competition among GSA schedule holders; the Guard reportedly skipped written proposals and chose on oral presentations. The base period runs through June 21, 2027, with further options reported.

Whether the order carries a termination clause tied to court rulings is not public: the order text was not located, and the federal record holds no clause language.
