Department Of Military Affairs Wisconsin

Department Of Military Affairs Wisconsin (DMA), a state government entity operating as a division of the Wisconsin Governor's Office, provides National Guard facilities and operations support, emergency management infrastructure, and specialized training services to federal agencies as a prime grant recipient. DMA competes exclusively in full-and-open federal grant and cooperative agreement vehicles tied to the National Guard, FEMA, and the Department of Defense, with no federal contract prime work and no use of federal procurement set-asides.

DMA's federal footprint centers on cooperative agreements and project grants supporting Wisconsin's Army and Air National Guard installations and emergency preparedness infrastructure. The vendor delivers concrete capabilities including facilities sustainment and modernization, security operations and fire protection, environmental programs and resource management, command and control communications infrastructure, and training support systems for National Guard units. Representative work includes a $25.97 million cooperative agreement from the Wisconsin National Guard (CFDA 12.401) for Army and Air National Guard facilities programs; an $8.583 million cooperative agreement from the Air Force for facilities operations and maintenance at Milwaukee Air National Guard installations; and a $17.7 million formula grant from FEMA under the Homeland Security Grant Program (CFDA 97.067) as a pass-through entity distributing funds to state and local entities for homeland security initiatives across Wisconsin.

Customer concentration is extreme and immobile. The top five funding agencies account for 81 percent of awards by count and 87 percent of combined potential value, anchored by the Department of the Army Wisconsin Army National Guard (140 awards, $5.7 million combined potential value) and the Department of the Air Force Air National Guard (42 awards, $1.4 million combined potential value). The vendor also holds recurring cooperative agreements with FEMA for emergency management performance grants (CFDA 97.042), cybersecurity programs (CFDA 97.137), building resilience initiatives (CFDA 97.047), nonprofit security enhancements (CFDA 97.008), and hazardous materials emergency preparedness (CFDA 20.703). Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards issued 105 awards across multiple FEMA grant programs.

The vendor sits on a single parent vehicle: an Indefinite Delivery Contract (W912J212D3002) with 40 task orders carrying $2.1 million in combined potential value. Nearly all recent work originates from mandatory cooperative agreements with state and federal military entities under the National Guard Military Operations and Maintenance Projects program (CFDA 12.401), which operate as non-discretionary, Congressionally directed funding allocations rather than competitive procurements.

Activity has declined modestly in recent years — 44 awards in 2022 and 2023 to 32 in 2024 and 30 in 2025 — with 44 awards (combined potential value $40 thousand) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, representing minimal recompete exposure given the non-discretionary nature of National Guard O&M cooperative agreements. Work is performed at multiple Wisconsin locations including Madison, Milwaukee, Camp Douglas, and subordinate National Guard facilities throughout the state.

DMA's award portfolio reflects its statutory role as the state entity authorized to receive and administer National Guard operations and maintenance funding on behalf of Wisconsin's Governor and Adjutant General. As a state government entity with no subcontracting footprint (3 sub-awards constitute less than 1 percent of recent activity), DMA does not pursue federal contract prime vehicles or sit on GWACs, BPAs, or GSA schedules. The vast majority of work classifies under NAICS 611710 (Educational Support Services, Training, and Curriculum Development) and NAICS 926110 (Administration of General Economic, Social, and Environmental Programs), with corresponding PSC codes in Education/Training and Support/Professional categories reflecting training delivery and government operations support.
