TAMPA, Fla. (Aug. 29, 2025) – Stay Sojo, the furnished living brand by Mainsail Lodging & Development, has been awarded a General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract (#47QMCB25D000R under Special Item Number (SIN) 531110 – Long-Term Lodging), opening the door for expanded partnerships with U.S. government agencies nationwide. This prestigious designation streamlines the procurement process, making it easier for federal buyers to secure Stay Sojo’s fully furnished apartment homes for extended stays of 30 nights or more.
The MAS contract positions Stay Sojo as a pre-approved vendor for a wide range of agencies, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Department of Defense, providing greater access for both individual travelers and large-scale group housing needs.
“Earning a GSA MAS contract is a significant milestone for Stay Sojo and the Mainsail family,” said Jana Collier, Managing Partner of Stay Sojo. “It means that government agencies across the country can now easily connect with us for housing solutions, knowing we’ve been fully vetted and approved. From military families to relocation groups, we are proud to support mission-critical teams across the country with comfortable, flexible housing that feels like home.”
The achievement follows a rigorous application process and was officially awarded on July 7, 2025, and runs through July 6, 2030. Stay Sojo has finalized its presence on key federal purchasing platforms, including GSA Advantage, where buyers can view offerings and contract directly.
Stay Sojo has a history of supporting travelers with government and FEMA ties, but the new contract expands the brand’s ability to serve larger, more complex housing needs. With a portfolio of professionally styled one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartment homes in more than 200 U.S. cities, Stay Sojo offers flexible month-to-month leases, fully equipped kitchens, in-suite laundry, and laptop-friendly workspaces. Many units are pet-friendly, offering access to lifestyle amenities specifically designed for extended stays. Guests also benefit from centralized account management, consolidated invoicing and reporting, flexible and value-driven options, and the support of a dedicated guest experience team.
“Stay Sojo makes extended travel feel more like home, and this GSA MAS award ensures we can now deliver that experience directly to government agencies nationwide,” said Neisja Jones, National Account Executive. “Our housing solutions are already trusted by federal employees, contractors, and FEMA personnel deployed to disaster recovery efforts, and this designation allows us to expand that support from single travelers to large-scale deployments.”
