Military Nebraska Department Of

Military Nebraska Department Of, doing business as the Nebraska National Guard, is a U.S. state government entity serving as the prime recipient of federal grant funding for Army National Guard and Air National Guard operations, maintenance, facility sustainment, and infrastructure support across Nebraska. The Nebraska National Guard operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient under the National Guard Military Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Projects program (CFDA 12.401), a Congressionally directed, non-discretionary cooperative agreement vehicle limited to the 50 states, territories, and District of Columbia.

The Nebraska National Guard is a child entity of the State of Nebraska and competes on no contract vehicles—its federal footprint is entirely grant-based. Recent cooperative agreements fund concrete operations and maintenance work: facility sustainment, repair and modernization of Army and Air National Guard installations; security guard activities and fire protection services; environmental programs and resources management; command, control, communications, computers, and information management (C4IM) service support; anti-terrorism programs; training support systems; electronic security system installation and operation; and distributed learning program administration. Representative recent awards include a $25.851 million Army National Guard Facilities Program cooperative agreement (October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026) funding facility operations and maintenance across Nebraska; a $3.958 million Air National Guard Fire Protection Activities cooperative agreement (October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026) for fire protection services; and a $2.129 million Air National Guard Facilities Operations and Maintenance Activities cooperative agreement (October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026) for facility sustainment and infrastructure support. A longer-duration award—the Air National Guard Facilities Sustainment, Repair, Modernization Cooperative Agreement (FSRMCA) for fuel cell hangar B2600 repair—runs through August 13, 2031.

Customer concentration is entirely within the Department of Defense National Guard structure. The Department of the Army National Guard has placed 152 awards; the Department of the Army Nebraska Army National Guard has placed 93 awards; and the Department of the Air Force Air National Guard has placed 32 awards—accounting for 100% of the Nebraska National Guard's 281 total awards. Total obligated dollars across all awards amount to $760.1 million since 2004. Activity has remained steady over the past five years (2022 through 2025: 14, 15, 15, and 13 awards respectively), with only one award recorded in 2026 as of the source date. Four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting modest recompete exposure. All work is performed in Nebraska, and the Nebraska National Guard acts as both recipient and implementing agent for all cooperative agreement funding.
