Commonwealth Of Massachusetts Military Division

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Military Division, operating as the Massachusetts National Guard, is a state government entity headquartered at Hanscom Air Force Base in Massachusetts. Since its registration with SAM.gov in January 2003, the organization has served as the primary recipient of federal cooperative agreement funding to support military readiness, facility operations, and authorized service support activities for both the Massachusetts Army National Guard and Air National Guard units. The entity receives funding primarily from the U.S. Department of Defense, including allocations from the Department of the Air Force, Air National Guard, and Massachusetts National Guard, to maintain operational capability and infrastructure across the state.

The Massachusetts National Guard has received substantial federal grant awards focused on a comprehensive range of military support services and infrastructure management. Primary funding has supported facilities operations and maintenance activities, with a notable $28,934,000 Army National Guard Facilities Program award and $723,000 in Air National Guard facilities operations and maintenance funding for fiscal year 2026. Additional cooperative agreements address specialized military functions including electronic security system management and installation, command and control communications infrastructure, training support systems, anti-terrorism program coordination, environmental program resource management, distributed learning programs, security guard activities, and administrative services. The organization has also received support for fire protection activities, with a $2,240,000 Air National Guard Fire Protection Activities award, and facilities sustainment, restoration, and modernization initiatives. In addition to direct military operations, the Massachusetts National Guard has provided sub-award funding to state partners including the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education for salary reimbursement of National Guard members serving as school transportation drivers, and coordinated with the Department of Public Safety on facility upgrades such as UVGI light technology installations on armory air handlers. These cooperative agreements demonstrate the entity's role as both a direct recipient of federal defense funding and a facilitator of multi-agency coordination supporting military readiness and community resilience.
