Indiana National Guard

The Department of the Army Indiana Army National Guard is a sub-agency of the U.S. Army responsible for federal contracting and grant-making to support Indiana's National Guard operations, readiness, and mission capabilities. The agency operates as both a contracting entity awarding prime contracts and a grant-maker funding cooperative agreements with the Adjutant General Indiana Office.

The Indiana Army National Guard has awarded 15,456 federal contracts totaling $1.17 billion in combined potential value since 2000, with $1.2 billion obligated cumulatively. Award volume has remained stable over the last five years, averaging 205 to 222 awards annually from 2022 through 2024, then declining to 182 awards in 2025 and 86 year-to-date in 2026. Among recent contractors, the Family and Social Services Administration, Indiana leads by award count with 469 awards over the last five years worth $23.3 million combined potential value, followed by Interagency Readiness Solutions, LLC with 58 awards valued at $13.6 million. Competitive concentration is moderately concentrated, with the top five contractors holding 67 percent of recent awards yet only 5 percent of combined potential value — a structural indicator that the agency transacts heavily through smaller orders, Schedule task orders, or BPA calls where individual dollar values remain unreported. The contractor base is diverse, spanning 2,230 distinct primes across the portfolio history.

The set-aside portfolio is dominated by unrestricted awards, which account for 87 percent of all contracts. Small-business set-asides comprise 7 percent of awards, with 8(a) sole-source designations representing the next-largest category at 3 percent. HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, woman-owned small business, and other specialized set-asides together account for less than 1 percent of the award count.

The Indiana Army National Guard has obligated $840.9 million in federal grant dollars across 135 cooperative agreements since 2012, with the Adjutant General Indiana Office as the sole recipient of record. Grant activity has averaged 11 to 14 awards annually over the last five years, with the most recent award recorded in October 2025. All grants are structured as Cooperative Agreements, reflecting the nature of federal-state military support relationships.
