Contract Lodging Availability System (CLAS) is a partnership program between the government and commercially contracted hotels in order to support the overflow lodging requirements for eligible Department of Defense (DoD) travelers. CLAS provides a complete lodging service to our DoD traveler which contributes to mission readiness.
CLAS ensures commercial hotels meet group and individual lodging requirements along with ensuring DoD lodging standards. These standards are based off inspections that cover fire/safety/force protection and health requirements for each hotel. By ensuring contracted hotels meet minimum standards. The CLAS program makes certain all facilities that participate comply with overall travel requirements.
The CLAS Program will save overall tax dollars and ensure consistent quality and availability for DoD travelers.
