Kansas Adjutant General Department

The Kansas Adjutant General Department, operating through its Comptroller's Office, is a state government entity registered with SAM.gov that serves as the primary administrator of federal grants supporting Kansas's military and emergency management infrastructure. As a child entity of the state structure, the department manages substantial federal funding to sustain operations and maintain facilities for both the Army National Guard and Air National Guard throughout Kansas, while also coordinating statewide emergency preparedness and disaster response initiatives.

The Kansas Adjutant General Department has received substantial federal grant awards spanning multiple program areas and funding agencies. National Guard facility and operations support represents a significant portion of its work, with cooperative agreements from the Kansas National Guard and Air National Guard funding facility programs, environmental resource management, security operations, electronic security systems, command and control communications infrastructure, training support systems, distributed learning programs, antiterrorism coordination, and fire protection activities at key installations including Forbes Field and McConnell Air Force Base. Emergency management capabilities are supported through formula grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), including the Emergency Management Performance Grant program, which provided approximately $8.1 million in FY2026 to enhance state and local preparedness across Kansas's counties and municipalities. The department also administers the Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness (HMEP) program through the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, providing $652,061.25 to develop emergency response plans and provide hazmat responder training. Disaster recovery and mitigation work is extensive, with the department managing multiple FEMA project grants for facility repairs, replacement of disaster-damaged structures, hazard mitigation initiatives, and community resilience building through the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program. The department issues numerous sub-awards to local entities including county governments, the Kansas Highway Patrol, and municipal organizations to support specialized services such as residential safe room programs, non-congregate sheltering during public health emergencies, damage assessment and repair work, regional mitigation planning, and homeland security capabilities development. This diverse portfolio demonstrates the department's critical role in sustaining military readiness, emergency preparedness, and disaster recovery across the state of Kansas.
