NAICS 721214 – Recreational and Vacation Camps (except Campgrounds) encompasses the operation of temporary or seasonal facilities designed for structured recreational, therapeutic, or educational programs for individuals in non-residential camp settings. This includes youth development camps, veteran wellness retreats, rehabilitation-focused outdoor programs, and specialized training camps that provide lodging, meals, and supervised activities in remote or semi-remote environments. Unlike campgrounds that offer transient lodging, this code specifically covers organized, program-driven operations with scheduled activities, clinical or educational components, and staff-led supervision. In government contracting, these services are often procured to support veteran reintegration, mental health recovery, youth at-risk initiatives, and resilience-building programs under the auspices of health, education, and social service missions. The leading contractor in this sector is EXTREME GOVERNMENT SOLUTIONS LLC, a specialized service provider with expertise in delivering turnkey recreational and therapeutic camp operations for federal clients. The competitive landscape is dominated by small businesses and niche service providers with experience in outdoor program management, behavioral health support, and federal compliance frameworks such as FISMA and HIPAA. These contractors typically operate under task orders or IDIQ contracts requiring robust safety protocols, staff credentialing, and outcome-based reporting. The Department of Veterans Affairs is the primary procuring agency, leveraging these services to support VA’s holistic health initiatives, including PTSD treatment, veteran reintegration, and adaptive recreation programs. Demand is driven by VA’s commitment to non-traditional, community-based care models that emphasize physical activity, peer support, and nature-based therapy. The market is characterized by low contractor density and high program specificity, creating opportunities for firms with proven experience in federal behavioral health contracting and outdoor program accreditation. Procurement trends show increasing emphasis on trauma-informed design, veteran-centered outcomes, and partnerships with nonprofit and community-based organizations to extend reach and impact.

Bidder counts reported on past federal awards in this NAICS (USAspending). An open opportunity has no bidders yet, so this is the historical norm for similar work, not a fact about this solicitation. Not all awards report bidder counts, and fewer bidders often means incumbent-held work rather than an easier win. Federal reporting of bidder counts fell from ~96% of awards (FY2016) to ~30% (FY2018 onward); the chart shows shares of reported awards, and washed-out stretches mark years with fewer than 30 of them.

Award Notice - JCLC JROTC Humble
Solicitation # W9124D26PA175
This is a firm-fixed-price sole-source contract awarded under FAR 12.102(a) for encampment services in support of the 2026 JROTC Cadet Leadership Challenge at John Newcombe Tennis Ranch in New Braunfels, Texas, scheduled for June 18–20, 2026. The contract covers lodging for 109 participants, three daily meals, and full access to specialized outdoor training facilities including high and low ropes courses, zip lines, obstacle courses, orienteering trails, rappelling equipment, and a swimming pool for water safety instruction. The sole-source justification is based on the unique capability of John Newcombe Tennis Ranch to provide the complete scope of required services and infrastructure on the exact dates needed, with no other vendor able to meet the co-location and scheduling requirements. The estimated value exceeds $2,500, triggering the need for a formal justification under the simplified acquisition threshold, though the precise contract amount is not disclosed. The period of performance is strictly limited to the three-day event without options for extension or renewal. Performance and acceptance occur at the ranch location, with the government responsible for inspection and verification of compliance with JROTC Cadet Leadership Challenge program standards under CCR 145-2 and applicable DoD guidelines. No line-item pricing, CLINs, or detailed cost breakdowns are provided, and no standard FAR Part 52 contract clauses are referenced or incorporated. The contracting office is the Mission Installation Contracting Command at Fort Knox, Kentucky, with Noraida Hunsaker as the primary point of contact and Terry D. Phillips Jr. listed as the contracting officer. No representations, certifications, or socioeconomic status disclosures from the vendor JGC Tennis, Inc. DBA John Newcombe Tennis Ranch are documented, and no special contractual requirements such as key personnel, security clearances, or subcontracting restrictions are specified. The contract was awarded without competition based entirely on the necessity of the vendor’s singularly available facility and scheduled availability.

FY 26 Child and Youth Summer Camp
Solicitation # W912SV26A014
The Massachusetts Army National Guard is seeking a small business to deliver a seven-day overnight summer camp for children and youth aged 9 to 15, with the camp to be conducted from Sunday, August 16, 2026, through Saturday, August 22, 2026, at a location within 45 miles of Berkshire County, Massachusetts, and physically situated in the state. The contractor must provide all personnel, equipment, facilities, and services required to operate a fully staffed, ACA-accredited adventure camp for 20 campers, including gender-separated cabins with beds for each camper, same-gender counselors residing in each cabin, a certified cook, a camp director, and a minimum counselor-to-camper ratio of 1:8, with 24-hour supervision by background-checked staff. The camp must be outdoor and nature-oriented, with all high-risk activities such as ropes courses and rock walls requiring safety certification and certified staff. All services must comply with the Service Contract Labor Standards and Executive Order 14026 minimum wage requirements, and the contractor must carry liability insurance covering all campers while assuming full responsibility for safety and liability. The contract is a firm-fixed-price award under NAICS code 721214, set aside entirely for small businesses, with evaluation based on the lowest total price for the single CLIN, subject to pass/fail gates on technical acceptability and responsibility, and past performance demonstrated by providing previous award numbers. Offers must be submitted via email to designated points of contact by June 15, 2026, at 5:00 PM, using a completed SF 1449 form with all required blocks filled, and must include the unique entity identifier from SAM.gov, a declaration of small business status, compliance with Buy American provisions, and adherence to the Addendum to 52.212-1. Payment will be processed through Wide Area WorkFlow, with invoicing conducted using the “Invoice 2in1” system for non-deliverable services, and the Contracting Officer’s Representative will conduct performance inspections against a 100% compliance standard. The contractor must designate a Contract Manager, attend a post-award conference, and comply with zero-tolerance policies on trafficking in persons and prohibitions on requiring internal confidentiality agreements. All submissions must adhere strictly to the solicitation instructions, and any late or nonconforming offers will be disqualified.

JCLC Odyssey
Solicitation # W9124D26PA137
The U.S. Army’s Mission & Installation Contracting Command at Fort Knox, Kentucky, awarded a sole-source contract under FAR 12.102(a) for the JROTC Cadet Leadership Challenge (JCLC) services to be delivered at Outdoor Odyssey in Boswell, Pennsylvania, from June 2 to June 19, 2026. The award was justified due to the exclusive capability of the vendor to meet the mandatory requirements of Cadet Command Regulation 145-2, which governs military-style leadership training for cadets and cadre, including specialized facilities such as a Leaders Reaction Course, climbing/rappel tower, and obstacle course built to military specifications by U.S. Navy Seabees. No other facility within a 50-mile radius of Boswell, Pennsylvania, is capable of providing these services, making competition unfeasible and the sole-source award necessary for mission fulfillment. The contract covers full logistical support, including lodging, meals, and safety oversight, over an 18-day period, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the performance site in Pennsylvania. Although the approximate cost is cited as $75 per cadet per day, the total contract value cannot be determined due to the absence of participant counts or formal pricing structures, and the acquisition is believed to fall below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. No competitive evaluation, CLIN/SLIN details, option periods, or invoicing mechanisms were specified, and no formal representations, certifications, or packaging requirements were documented. The contracting office, with point of contact Noraida Hunsaker, retains oversight authority, and certification by both the contracting officer and technical representative validates the necessity and completeness of the acquisition, with the only attachments being a redacted sole-source justification and references to facility capabilities for operating summer camps, one-day events, and overnight programs.

JCLC Black Creek
Solicitation # W9124D26PA132
The contract for JCLC Black Creek is a sole-source award issued under FAR 12.102(a) to the Coastal Georgia Council, BSA, due to the unique and irreplaceable nature of its facility in Savannah, Georgia, which is the only location capable of supporting the full scope of the Junior Cadet Leadership Course. The contract requires the contractor to provide integrated lodging for 240 personnel—including 202 cadets and 38 cadre members—with gender-segregated accommodations, full meal services compliant with DA PAM 30-22, and operational adventure training infrastructure such as high and low ropes courses, a zip line, and an archery range, along with 10 gas-powered golf carts for site mobility. All services must be delivered at a single, secure, co-located facility within the specified performance period of June 1 to June 5, 2026, with inspection and acceptance occurring on-site. The award is structured as a fixed-price contract under a simplified acquisition, with funding sourced from Operations & Maintenance, Army, under MPA FY: 26, though no specific contract value or detailed pricing structure is disclosed. The contracting activity is the Mission Installation Contracting Command at Fort Knox, Kentucky, with Noraida Hunsaker listed as the primary point of contact and Terry D. Phillips, Jr. serving as the Contracting Officer, while no COR, COTR, or PCO is identified. The contractor is not required to hold any socioeconomic certifications, and no set-aside was used; the NAICS code 721214 applies to traveler accommodation, with a small business size standard of $12.5 million in annual receipts. Although the sole source determination is referenced as an attachment, no formal clause listings, contract line item numbers, invoicing procedures, payment details, or representations from the offeror such as UEI or CAGE codes were included in the documentation. Compliance with USACC CCR 145-2 is critical, as failure to award to this contractor would prevent the annual execution of JCLC, making this a mission-critical procurement with no viable alternatives.
