THE HARVEST POT. LLC

THE HARVEST POT, LLC specializes in providing commercial lodging and meal support services for military personnel undergoing training, drills, and temporary duty assignments. Their core capabilities center on managing secure, compliant lodging programs for National Guard and Reserve units, ensuring seamless accommodations for service members traveling outside their commuting distances. They deliver tailored hospitality solutions aligned with Department of Defense standards, including temporary billeting, meal coordination for youth training events, and long-term blanket purchase agreements for recurring operational needs. Their technical expertise includes lodging program administration, military travel compliance, vendor coordination across regional hotel networks, and event-based hospitality logistics under strict federal guidelines. A key differentiator is their focused execution on UTA (Unit Training Assembly) lodging requirements, demonstrating deep familiarity with military scheduling, duty status protocols, and transient personnel support systems. The contractor maintains a consistent and primary relationship with the Department of Defense, delivering lodging and catering services across multiple Air National Guard wings, particularly the 118th and 187th Wings. Their work supports routine drill cycles, specialized training events, and temporary duty assignments, reflecting a pattern of repeat, mission-critical engagement rather than one-off procurements. While they have one contract with the Department of Agriculture, their operational footprint is overwhelmingly centered on defense-related mobility and readiness support. Their primary industry focus is on NAICS 721110—hotels and motels—which in practice means managing transient lodging for government personnel under federal travel regulations. They are not a general hospitality provider but a niche operator specializing in military-specific lodging programs, including compliance with per diem rules, security protocols, and service member welfare standards. This vertical specialization positions them as a trusted provider within the defense mobility ecosystem. As a Women-Owned Small Business certified under the SBA’s WOSB program, THE HARVEST POT, LLC leverages its small business status to serve federal procurement goals while maintaining operations from its base in Peoria, Illinois. Their business structure and certifications align them with government initiatives promoting diverse supplier participation in defense support services.
