Pennsylvania National Guard

The Pennsylvania Army National Guard, a sub-agency of the Department of the Army, manages real property, facilities, and logistics support for the Pennsylvania National Guard's military operations and training infrastructure across the state.

The Pennsylvania Army National Guard closed 9,031 federal contract awards cumulatively since 2001, with a combined potential value of $704.6 million and combined dollars obligated of $772.8 million. Recent activity has held steady: 111 awards in 2022, 112 in 2023, 114 in 2024, 106 in 2025, and 52 year-to-date in 2026. Among 1,859 distinct prime contractors awarded over the portfolio lifetime, competitive concentration is highly fragmented. Over the last five years, Valley Foods Inc. leads by award count with 88 awards worth $16 million in combined potential value; Opportunity Center, Inc. ranks first by combined potential value at $26.7 million across 19 awards; and W6Cm Usag Carlisle Barracks, Dell Federal Systems L.P., and Spaark Inc. round out the top tier. These five primes account for 36 percent of recent awards by count but only 9 percent of combined potential value, indicating that the agency's procurement workload is spread across many vendors of modest individual scale.

The set-aside mix skews heavily toward unrestricted competition. No set-aside designation applies to 7,805 awards (86 percent). Total Small Business designations account for 1,008 awards (11 percent), followed by 163 awards under 8(a) sole source (2 percent). SDVOSB, HUBZone, competitive 8(a), and women-owned small business awards together represent fewer than 60 awards (under 1 percent).

The Pennsylvania Army National Guard also funds federal grants. Since 2015, it has awarded 105 cooperative agreements totaling $745.7 million in federal dollars obligated and $844.7 million including non-federal share. Grant activity has averaged 10 to 14 awards annually over the last five years, with 10 awards in 2025. The Pennsylvania Department Of Military & Veterans Affairs is the sole recipient recorded in the portfolio, holding 100 percent of awards by count and 44 percent of federal dollars obligated, indicating that other recipients receive grants but at smaller scale or with incomplete reporting.
