Maryland National Guard

The Department of the Army Maryland Army National Guard is a state-level military component of the U.S. Army that procures supplies, services, and infrastructure to support military readiness and operations across Maryland-based installations and the 135th Intelligence Squadron.

The agency has issued 5,135 federal contract awards cumulatively since 2001, with combined potential value of $279.3 million. Recent activity has slowed significantly: the agency recorded 21 awards in 2019, 11 in 2020, 1 in 2021, 4 in 2022, and 5 in 2023, with the most recent award dated 30 September 2023. Combined dollars obligated reached $282.1 million, slightly exceeding the combined potential value reported. Among 1,816 distinct prime contractors awarded over the portfolio history, competitive concentration over the last five years is highly fragmented. Rmec Environmental, LLC leads by award count with 4 recent awards valued at $22.7 million combined potential, followed by Environmental Testing And Consulting, Inc. with 3 awards valued at $13.1 million; together these two primes represent 13 percent of recent combined potential value. The remainder of the contract portfolio is distributed across a long tail of small and one-time vendors.

Seventy-three percent of all awards carry no set-aside designation, while 23 percent are small-business set-asides across multiple programs. Competitive 8(a) and 8(a) sole-source awards together account for 2 percent of the portfolio, with the remaining set-asides (SDVOSB, HUBZone, WOSB, ESB, and combinations thereof) comprising less than 1 percent each.

The agency also administers 73 federal grant awards issued since 2011, with combined federal dollars obligated of $284.2 million against a combined total (federal plus non-federal share) of $352.1 million. Grant activity has remained steady at 7 to 10 awards per year over the last five years: 10 in 2021, 8 in 2022, 8 in 2023, 7 in 2024, and 8 in 2025, with the most recent grant award dated 1 October 2025. All 73 grants are Cooperative Agreements. The Department Of Military Maryland is the sole grant recipient on record, receiving 32 awards over the last five years for $83.4 million in federal dollars obligated, representing 29 percent of the agency's recent federal grant dollars.
