National Guard Ohio

National Guard Ohio, officially registered as the Adjutant General's Department, serves as the administrative and operational headquarters for both the Ohio Army National Guard and the Ohio Air National Guard. As a state government entity based in Columbus, Ohio, the organization receives federal cooperative agreement funding primarily through the National Guard Military Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Projects program to sustain critical military infrastructure, support operational readiness, and maintain essential services across Ohio's National Guard facilities. The entity has maintained consistent federal grant funding relationships since its registration in SAM.gov in December 2006, with an active SAM registration expiring in March 2026.

National Guard Ohio's federal grant portfolio demonstrates extensive responsibility for a comprehensive range of military facility and operational support services. The organization has received recurring cooperative agreement awards from both the U.S. Department of the Army and the U.S. Air Force under CFDA 12.401, supporting programs including Army National Guard facilities sustainment, restoration, and modernization; security guard activities; environmental programs and resources management; command, control, communications, computers, and information management (C4IM) services; electronic security system management and maintenance; training support systems; anti-terrorism programs; emergency management program coordination; administrative services; and distributed learning initiatives. For the Air National Guard, the organization manages parallel programs including facilities operations and maintenance activities, fire protection services, environmental program management, and sustainment, restoration, and modernization activities. Recent awards from fiscal year 2025 include a $22.9 million cooperative agreement for Army National Guard facilities management through September 2029, $2.95 million for Air National Guard fire protection activities, $2.55 million for Air National Guard facilities operations and maintenance, and additional individual awards ranging from approximately $125,000 to $564,000 for specialized programs such as C4IM services, training support systems, and electronic security system management. All awards are designated for excepted activities during appropriations lapses, reflecting the critical nature of the services provided to maintain military readiness and facility operations during government funding disruptions.
