Georgia Military College

Georgia Military College, a U.S. state government entity headquartered in Milledgeville, Georgia, operates as a prime recipient and prime contractor for federal funds, delivering cadet leadership training, dormitory lodging, meals, and hospitality services to the U.S. Army Recruiting Command. The college competes full-and-open (no small business set-asides applied to named awards) and does not subcontract federal work.

The college's federal footprint consists almost entirely of Army JROTC Cadet Leadership Camp (JCLC) support contracts and Department of Education pandemic-relief grants. The Army Recruiting Command accounts for 66 of 83 total awards spanning the past forty-five years, with 11 purchase orders alone valued at $1.5 million combined potential value for the recurring JCLC Bulldog program. Named recent contract work includes a $184.3 thousand purchase order awarded May 25, 2026, to provide encampment, meals, lodging, transportation via passenger buses, recreational equipment including canoes and golf carts, medical personnel and facilities, and administrative space for approximately 484 cadets and 80 cadre members across two back-to-back sessions (May 25–29 and May 31–June 4, 2026); a $191.3 thousand purchase order from May 26, 2025, for the same services covering May 26–30 and June 1–5, 2025; and a $222.8 thousand purchase order from May 2024 covering lodging and meals for approximately 495 cadets and 95 cadre per session. The college also received a $2.2 million Department of Education federal grant (CFDA 84.425, Education Stabilization Fund) from July 2022 to July 2023 for pandemic support and continued operations. Historical pandemic grants from the college include $40 million in CARES Act Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund awards in 2020–2022.

Award activity has declined sharply. The college placed one award per year in 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 (compared to two in 2022), despite carrying 83 total awards in the source data spanning back to 1981. The JCLC Bulldog contract is the mainstay — a recurring annual purchase order averaging roughly $185 thousand to $223 thousand per cycle, with performance consistently at the college's Milledgeville campus. The college works under five Army basic ordering agreements and two Army indefinite delivery contracts as the named call-down vehicle framework. The category concentration reflects this narrow scope: 19 awards fall under "All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction" NAICS, 10 under "Recreational and Vacation Camps," and 46 purchase orders fall under PSC Education/Training–Tuition/Registration/Membership Fees.
