Florida National Guard

The Department of the Army Florida Army National Guard is the Army's state-based component in Florida responsible for procurement and contracting across the Florida National Guard's operational, training, and facility-support functions. The agency operates as a sub-agency within the Department of the Army and executes contracts and grants on behalf of state military operations.

The Florida Army National Guard has awarded 3,542 federal contracts since 2001, obligating $277.8 million against a combined potential value of $240.1 million. Contract volume has declined sharply: 66 awards in 2021, 39 in 2022, 17 in 2023, 14 in 2024, and 4 year-to-date in 2025. Among 1,414 distinct prime contractors awarded over the portfolio history, the competitive landscape is highly fragmented. Over the last five years, Legacy Group & Associates Inc. leads by award count with 5 awards ($107 thousand combined potential value), followed by Federal Prison Industries, Inc. with 4 awards ($260 thousand), and Madhouz LLC, Government Acquisitions LLC, and Zekaja, L.L.C. each with 3 awards. By potential value, Zekaja, L.L.C. ranks first ($2.4 million across 3 awards), but the top five primes account for only 2 percent of combined recent potential value, indicating that most awards flow to diverse small contractors and that much of the portfolio transacts through below-threshold purchase orders or other low-dollar mechanisms. The set-aside mix is dominated by unrestricted competition: 83 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation. Small-business set-asides total 13 percent of awards, with 8(a) sole-source and WOSB accounting for 2 percent and 1 percent respectively; remaining set-asides (HUBZone, EDWOSB, SDVOSB) each represent less than 1 percent of the portfolio.

The Florida Army National Guard has awarded 120 federal grants totaling $628.9 million in obligated federal dollars since 2011, with awards per year holding steady between 11 and 15 from 2021 through 2024 and 12 year-to-date in 2025. The grant portfolio is highly concentrated: the Department Of Military Florida is the sole recipient in the recent five-year window, receiving all 50 awards and $270.7 million in federal dollars obligated—43 percent of the total federal grant dollars across the agency's rollup. All 120 grants in the portfolio are Cooperative Agreements, indicating a single recurring relationship structured as cooperative rather than transactional grants.
