Mississippi National Guard

The Department of the Army Mississippi Army National Guard, a sub-agency within the Department of Defense, procures military training services, facility infrastructure, equipment, and supplies for Army National Guard and Joint Forces operations in Mississippi. The agency manages combat readiness training, base operations, and resource management across Camp Shelby Joint Forces Training Center, the Mississippi Combat Readiness Training Center (CRTC), and subordinate installations.

Over its contract portfolio history since 2001, the agency has awarded 15,413 federal contracts totaling $645.8 million in combined potential value, with $631.6 million obligated (98% of potential value). Recent contract volume shows 131 awards in 2022, 138 in 2023, 166 in 2024, 103 in 2025, and 85 year-to-date in 2026. The most recently recorded award dates to August 7, 2026. Among 2,438 distinct prime contractors, competitive concentration is highly fragmented by award count—the top five primes hold 84 percent of recent awards. Mississippi Department Of Rehabilitation Service dominates with 429 awards and $12.2 million combined potential value over the last five years, followed by Portable Toilets LLC with 80 awards ($937 thousand) and Drury Hotels Company, LLC with 14 awards ($388 thousand). By potential value, however, concentration drops to just 2 percent of combined potential—Laughlin, Marinaccio & Owens, Inc. holds $1.6 million across two awards, indicating significant transactional fragmentation. The set-aside portfolio is heavily non-small-business: 82 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation, while 13 percent are small-business awards, 4 percent are Competitive 8(a), and the remaining designations (SDVOSB, WOSB, HUBZone, and others) together represent less than 1 percent.

The agency has obligated $1.16 billion in federal grant dollars across 177 grant awards since 2015, all structured as Cooperative Agreements. Mississippi Military Department is the sole grant recipient, capturing 100 percent of awards by count (86 awards, 2022–2026) and 53 percent of federal dollars ($620.9 million obligated), with the remainder distributed across prior-year agreements. Grant volume shows 20 awards in 2022, 24 in 2023, 21 in 2024, 20 in 2025, and 1 year-to-date in 2026, with the most recent grant dated July 1, 2026.
