Military Nevada Office Of

Military Nevada Office Of, doing business as Nevada National Guard, is a child entity of the State of Nevada that acts as the prime recipient of federal cooperative agreements funding Army National Guard and Air National Guard operations and facilities across Nevada. The organization receives 100 percent federally funded, non-discretionary, Congressionally directed cooperative agreements under the National Guard Military Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Projects program (CFDA 12.401), with a secondary portfolio of agreements under the STARBASE Program (CFDA 12.020) supporting STEM education initiatives. As a U.S. state government entity with no federal contract prime awards or sub-award activity, Nevada National Guard operates exclusively as a grant recipient channeling federal resources to military readiness, facilities, training, and youth development activities.

Nevada National Guard's customer base is narrowly concentrated among Department of Defense National Guard components. The top four funding agencies account for 100 percent of recent awards: the Department of the Army Nevada Army National Guard (106 awards), the Department of the Army National Guard (44 awards), the Department of the Air Force Air National Guard (33 awards), and the Department of the Army (1 award). Combined federal obligations across all 184 cooperative agreements total $981.9 million since 2001, with consistent annual activity of 18 to 19 new agreements per year across 2022–2025.

Nevada National Guard's grant portfolio spans multiple operational and capital domains. Representative recent cooperative agreements include $7.87 million for Army National Guard facilities programs including sustainment, restoration, and modernization activities (CFDA 12.401, awarded October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026); $1.98 million for Air National Guard facilities, operations, and maintenance activities across the state (CFDA 12.401, October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026); $3.226 million for Air National Guard fire protection services (CFDA 12.401, October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026); $850,000 for Air National Guard aircraft parking apron infrastructure establishment (CFDA 12.401, March 11, 2026, through September 30, 2030); and two STARBASE STEM education initiatives totaling $1.456 million for Henderson and High Sierra programs (CFDA 12.020, October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026). Additional agreements fund electronic security systems management, environmental programs, command and control communications infrastructure (C4IM), security operations, training support systems, emergency management coordination, anti-terrorism program activities, distributed learning platforms, administrative services, state family support programs, and the National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Program.

Twenty-seven awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure for successor agreements. Nevada National Guard is required to maintain detailed cost and expenditure records for three years following each cooperative agreement closeout to document the nature and extent of costs associated with funded activities. As a non-discretionary program recipient, Nevada National Guard receives direct allocations from the National Guard Bureau based on approved budget submissions rather than through competitive application, with cooperative agreements negotiated on a state-level basis and executed without the vendor-selection processes typical of federal contract procurement.
