Massachusetts National Guard

The Department of the Army Massachusetts Army National Guard is a sub-agency of the Army that manages federal contracting and grant-making for the Massachusetts National Guard's capital and operating infrastructure, primarily at its air and ground installations statewide.

The Massachusetts Army National Guard has issued 5,858 federal contract awards totaling $353.4 million in combined potential value since 2000, with $315.3 million obligated. Recent contract volume reached 85 awards in 2021, 78 in 2022, 115 in 2023, 120 in 2024, and 34 year-to-date in 2025. The most recent recorded award date is 2025-10-15. The contracting portfolio reflects highly fragmented competitive concentration. Over the last five years, the top five primes by award count—Koepfer Inc. (48 awards, $741 thousand combined potential value), IL Forno Restaurant, Inc. (42 awards, $445 thousand), Hamel's Catering, Inc. (38 awards, $149 thousand), The Pizza And Catering Gourmet LLC (35 awards, $313 thousand), and Spinelli Ravioli Manufacturing Co., Inc. (35 awards, $215 thousand)—account for 55 percent of recent awards. By potential value, however, the top tier shifts: T47 International, Inc. (3 awards, $5.3 million), President And Fellows Of Harvard College (5 awards, $2.3 million), and Industries For The Blind And Visually Impaired, Inc. (12 awards, $979 thousand) lead a highly fragmented by-value distribution covering only 3 percent of recent combined potential value, reflecting the agency's reliance on below-threshold or Schedule-based transactions among its top award-count vendors. Across the full portfolio, 86 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation, while 12 percent are total small-business awards; 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, and emerging-small-business designations together account for less than 1 percent.

The Massachusetts Army National Guard has obligated $392.7 million in federal grant dollars across 96 grant awards since 2016, with a combined total obligation (federal and non-federal share) of $405.1 million. Grant activity has remained stable at 10 awards in 2021, 10 in 2022, 10 in 2023, 9 in 2024, and 9 in 2025. The most recent grant award closed on 2025-10-01. All 96 awards are Cooperative Agreements. Grant funding is highly concentrated: the Commonwealth Of Massachusetts Military Division is the sole recipient, holding 100 percent of awards by count and 51 percent of recent federal dollars obligated ($199.2 million over 38 awards in the last five years).

Recent contract solicitations include facility work at Barnes Air National Guard Base in Westfield, Massachusetts.
