Kansas National Guard

The Department of the Army Kansas Army National Guard is a sub-agency of the Army responsible for procuring goods, services, and support for the Kansas National Guard's training, operations, and administrative functions within Kansas and subordinate operational locations. The Kansas Army National Guard transacts through both federal contracts and grants, with distinct competitive and assistance profiles on each side.

The Kansas Army National Guard has awarded 7,386 federal contracts since 1997, with combined potential value of $586.6 million and combined dollars obligated of $676.8 million. Recent contract volume shows a declining trend: 97 awards in 2022, 86 in 2023, 95 in 2024, 68 in 2025, and 56 year-to-date in 2026. The agency works with 1,527 distinct prime contractors across its portfolio history. Over the last five years, contract competition is highly fragmented, with the top five primes by award count—led by Hoosier Food Service Inc. (98 awards, $3.9 million combined potential value), Ben E Keith Co (58 awards, $1.4 million), and Robson Oil Co Inc. (22 awards, $144 thousand)—holding only 49 percent of recent awards. By potential value, concentration is also highly fragmented at only 2 percent of combined potential, with Hoosier Food Service Inc., Paragone Solutions Inc., and Sterling Computers Corporation each capturing small shares. The set-aside portfolio skews overwhelmingly toward open competition, with 86 percent of awards using no set-aside; small business awards account for 12 percent, 8(a) sole-source for 1 percent, and service-disabled veteran-owned small business and other designated categories for less than 1 percent combined.

The Kansas Army National Guard has issued 108 federal grants since 2010, with combined federal dollars obligated of $417.9 million and combined total dollars (federal plus non-federal share) of $460.2 million. Recent grant volume is stable at approximately 9 to 10 awards per year: 10 in 2021, 10 in 2022, 10 in 2023, 9 in 2024, and 9 in 2025. All 108 grants are structured as Cooperative Agreements. Grant recipients are highly concentrated, with Kansas Adjutant General Department as the sole distinct recipient, holding 100 percent of recent awards and 38 of the 48 awards made in the last five years ($132.9 million federal dollars obligated).
