Alaska Department Of Military And Veteran's Affairs

Alaska Department Of Military And Veteran's Affairs Alaska National Guard Division, a U.S. state government entity and division of the State of Alaska, receives and administers federal grant awards as a prime recipient across disaster response, emergency management, veterans services, and military facilities operations. The division holds no federal contracts and issues no task orders; its role is entirely grant-recipient focused, with 281 prime grants (100% of 282 total awards) and one sub-grant.

The division's federal footprint concentrates heavily in FEMA disaster and emergency management programs. The Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards account for 99 awards across multiple program vehicles including the Disaster Grants-Public Assistance program (CFDA 97.036), Emergency Management Performance Grants (CFDA 97.042), Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (CFDA 97.039), Homeland Security Grant Program (CFDA 97.067), and State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (CFDA 97.137). FEMA programs dominate the top customer ranking by volume and represent the majority of recent obligated dollars. Representative FEMA awards include a $40.003 million Disaster Grants-Public Assistance award (October 31, 2025) for debris removal and restoration of disaster-damaged public facilities, a $5.618 million Emergency Management Performance Grant (October 1, 2025), a $5.112 million Homeland Security Grant Program formula grant (October 1, 2025), and a $4.872 million State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program award (December 13, 2024). The division functions as state-level pass-through administrator for these awards, distributing federal resources to municipalities, tribal associations, local governments, and nonprofits across Alaska.

The Department of the Army Alaska Army National Guard contributes 55 awards under the National Guard Military Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Projects program (CFDA 12.401), funding facilities operations and maintenance at Army National Guard installations statewide. The Department of the Air Force Air National Guard issued 13 awards under the same program for Air National Guard facility sustainment and modernization. Representative cooperative agreements include a $25.880 million Army National Guard facilities operations award (October 1, 2025), a $7.134 million Air National Guard facilities operations and maintenance award (October 1, 2025), and a $2.468 million National Guard ChalleNGe Program cooperative agreement (July 1, 2026, CFDA 12.404) for military-based training and youth development. These awards fund operations, maintenance, anti-terrorism programs, electronic security systems, command and control infrastructure, and distributed learning for Alaska National Guard units and personnel across the state.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration awarded $5.586 million under the Mental Health Disaster Assistance and Emergency Mental Health program (CFDA 93.982, June 22, 2026) to provide crisis counseling and emergency mental health services to disaster-impacted populations. The Department of Veterans Affairs issued two awards: a $250 thousand project grant for rural veteran transportation services under the Veterans Transportation Program (CFDA 64.035, September 15, 2025) and a $16.712 million Veterans Cemetery Grants Program award (CFDA 64.203, September 5, 2025) to establish the Interior Alaska Veterans Cemetery in Fairbanks with columbarium niches, gravesites, and associated infrastructure.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration contributed 18 awards totaling $392 thousand combined potential value for tsunami hazard mitigation and warning system development. Recent NOAA work includes a $452,895 Meteorologic and Hydrologic Modernization Development program award (CFDA 11.467, September 1, 2025) to develop tsunami inundation maps, education materials, and community preparedness workshops in Alaska's 70 at-risk coastal communities. NASA carried two awards with combined potential value of $4.2 million — $2.8 million from Stennis Space Center and $1.4 million from Ames Research Center — though the source does not specify the work performed.

Award volume remained consistent from 2022 through 2025 (21 to 30 awards annually), with 27 awards in 2025 and 8 through August 2026. Fifteen awards reach completion within the next twenty-four months, representing potential recompete or renewal opportunities. The division distributes sub-awards to municipalities including Anchorage, Juneau, Ketchikan, and Fairbanks; tribal associations; school districts; and nonprofit organizations across Alaska. Two federal contracts (purchase orders totaling $4,100 in lodging support from FEMA, September 2023) represent negligible contract activity; the division's federal engagement is fundamentally grant-based, not procurement-based.
