Louisiana National Guard

The Department of the Army Louisiana Army National Guard, a sub-agency within the Department of Defense, procures equipment, supplies, and services to support military readiness and training operations across Louisiana's National Guard installations and personnel.

The Louisiana Army National Guard has awarded 7,394 federal contracts with a combined potential value of $254.3 million since 2002. Recent contracting activity has declined significantly: the agency issued 253 awards in 2020, 86 in 2021, 123 in 2022, 151 in 2023, and only 1 award in 2024, with the most recent award recorded on May 16, 2024. This represents a substantial pullback from sustained mid-range activity through 2023. Combined dollars obligated reach $257.5 million across 2,013 distinct prime contractors.

The contractor base is highly fragmented. Over the last five years, the top five primes by award count—Guillory's Grocery And Meat Market LLC (23 awards), DM Catering LLC (20 awards), DN & N Enterprises LLC (16 awards), Veterans Place LLC (15 awards), and Coy's Contemporary Cuisine Inc. (14 awards)—account for only 31 percent of recent awards. By combined potential value, concentration is even more dispersed: the top-five primes (Aldevra LLC, Black & Gold Technology LLC, HPI Federal LLC, Government Acquisitions LLC, and S365 Inc.) hold only 2 percent of combined potential value, indicating that the majority of contract dollars are distributed across the remaining contractor population. The top primes are predominantly food service and catering vendors, with smaller shares of facility and equipment support.

Set-aside usage is minimal. Approximately 79 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation; 18 percent are small-business set-asides (including 8(a) sole source, competitive 8(a), HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, and Women-Owned Small Business). Less than 1 percent of awards are designated for emerging, disadvantaged, or other socioeconomic categories.

The Louisiana Army National Guard also administers federal grant funding, having obligated $541.6 million in federal dollars across 175 cooperative agreements since 2014. Grant activity shows a consistent cadence: 21 awards in each of 2022, 2023, and 2024, declining to 14 awards in 2025 and 4 awards so far in 2026, with the most recent grant award recorded on July 1, 2026. All grant awards are structured as Cooperative Agreements. The Department of Military Affairs Louisiana is the sole grant recipient on record, holding 100 percent of recent awards and 38 percent of the combined federal dollars obligated across the portfolio window, indicating that the agency channels federal grant funding to the state military affairs office.
