Department Of Military Affairs Minnesota

The Department of Military Affairs Minnesota, doing business as Minnesota National Guard, is a state government entity registered in the federal System for Award Management (SAM.gov) that provides a wide range of military and administrative support services to federal agencies. As the state's National Guard organization, it plays a critical role in supporting both state and federal military operations, emergency response, and community programs. The entity serves as a key intermediary between state military resources and federal defense infrastructure, delivering cooperative agreements and support services across multiple operational domains.

The Minnesota National Guard's federal contract award history is relatively limited, with only one recorded contract award for lodging services at Camp Ripley. This specific contract, valued at $4,725, was a purchase order ratification for lodging services, awarded on July 30, 2021, with the Wisconsin National Guard listed as the funding agency. The contract was not designated with any specific set-aside status and was completed on the same date it was awarded, suggesting a straightforward, short-term service provision.

The organization's federal grant awards are extensive and diverse, primarily consisting of cooperative agreements with multiple federal agencies, including the Minnesota National Guard, Air National Guard, and Air Force. These grant awards cover a broad range of programs and services, such as environmental programs, facilities management, training support systems, electronic security systems, administrative services, antiterrorism program coordination, distributed learning programs, fire protection activities, and STARBASE youth programs. The grants typically range from one to five years in duration, with most focused on fiscal years 2022-2025. Notable grant programs include National Guard Military Operations and Maintenance Projects, electronic security system management, facilities sustainment and restoration, and youth development initiatives. Sub-grant awards have also included emergency management support and COVID-19 testing supply procurement, demonstrating the organization's adaptability in responding to state and federal needs.
