Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a closely related prior contract for winter lodging and ski-area support, with Mammoth Mountain Ski Area identified as the awardee under M3361024P0001 (Mammoth Mountain Ski Area) valued at $230,881 for 11/09/23–04/30/26. The prior work is described as “WINTER LODGING,” and the current requirement similarly calls for off-site lodging along with downhill and cross-country ski area access and season ski passes for the 2026–2027 ski season, suggesting continuity in providing winter training support services at or near the same ski area.
