Delaware National Guard

Delaware National Guard, a state military entity and child organization of the State of Delaware headquartered in New Castle, Delaware, receives federal cooperative agreements as the recipient for operations and maintenance of Army National Guard and Air National Guard facilities, personnel readiness support, and military construction in Delaware. The vendor operates exclusively as a grant recipient under the Department of the Army and Department of the Air Force, with no federal contract prime or sub work in the recent footprint.

Delaware National Guard's federal funding flows entirely through the National Guard Military Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Projects program (CFDA 12.401) and the Military Construction, National Guard program (CFDA 12.400). These are Congressionally directed, non-discretionary cooperative agreements available only to state governors and National Guard officials; no outside applications are accepted. The state's annual O&M allocation funds facilities sustainment, restoration and modernization, security guard and fire protection services, electronic security system management, command and control communications infrastructure, environmental programs, anti-terrorism activities, distributed learning, administrative services, state family programs, and emergency management coordination across Army and Air National Guard installations statewide. Military construction cooperative agreements fund capital projects including readiness centers at River Road Training Site, Cheswold, and Dagsboro, fuel cell replacement at Hangar JLWS 019054, main gate relocation at an Air National Guard facility, and a Biden Administration microgrid project (PN 100110).

The recipient's customer concentration is entirely within the Department of the Army National Guard and Department of the Air Force National Guard. The top five funding agencies — Department of the Army Delaware Army National Guard (101 awards), Department of the Army National Guard (63 awards), Department of the Air Force Air National Guard (18 awards), Department of the Air Force (11 awards), and Federal Emergency Management Agency (1 award) — account for 99% of the 195 awards in the recent footprint.
