The vendor opportunity at Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy
Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy's 2026 FDD covers 29 franchised lodging locations headquartered in Maryland. The royalty is 5% on a 20-year initial term, and the FDD makes no financial performance representation. Unit count held flat year over year.
Who controls software purchasing
Item 2 names Chairman David S. Marriott, Director/CEO/President Anthony Capuano, and Directors Isabella D. Goren, Deborah Marriott Harrison and Frederick A. Henderson at the Marriott parent level. All 29 locations are franchised, run by 33 mapped operators with no more than one location each — concentrated most heavily in Maryland (3) — so day-to-day purchasing sits with each operator inside Marriott's brand standards.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
OpenTable and Yahoo are already in use, per Item 8 and Item 16 — the incumbent systems a vendor would need to displace. Amadeus, CoStar, Sabre, STR by CoStar, TripAdvisor and Twitter by X are also named in the filing, across Items 2, 3, 8 and 16, without being required. The FDD requires none of these eight systems.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 sets an approved-supplier list: products and services must meet Marriott's standards, and the franchisor may designate specific sources for certain items; franchisees may propose alternate suppliers for approval. The Outdoor Collection is part of Marriott, alongside sibling brands St. Regis Residences, City Express by Marriott, The Luxury Collection, Postcard Cabins, SpringHill Suites and Tribute Portfolio. The initial term is 20 years, and Item 17 governs renewal, transfer and termination terms.
