# Louisiana Air Guard Surveys New Orleans Lodging Market

The Louisiana Air National Guard’s 159th Fighter Wing will hold an industry day on November 12, 2026, at NAS JRB New Orleans in Belle Chasse to conduct market research for potential FY27 lodging services in the New Orleans area. The research may inform a future Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA); the event is informational and is not a solicitation or commitment to award.

- Lodging providers serving New Orleans, Harvey, Gretna, and nearby commuting areas can use the industry day to learn about the Guard’s potential lodging needs and provide market input.
- The possible BPA is a planning concept, not an active contract opportunity. Businesses should distinguish this market-research event from a solicitation and avoid treating it as a commitment to compete or award.
- The 159th Mission Support Contracting Office and 159th Fighter Wing are relevant agency points in the market-research effort; the November 12 event is the stated opportunity for industry engagement.
