We study dark matter (DM) for gaugino-mediated supersymmetry breaking and compact dimensions of order of the grand unification scale. Higgs fields are bulk fields and in general their masses differ from those of squarks and sleptons at the unification scale. As a consequence, at different points in parameter space, the gravitino, a neutralino or a scalar lepton can be the lightest (LSP) or next-to-lightest (NLSP) superparticle. We investigate the constraints from primordial nucleosynthesis on the different scenarios. While neutralino DM and gravitino DM with a (v) over tilde. NLSP are consistent for a wide range of parameters, gravitino DM with a (t) over tilde NLSP is strongly constrained. Gravitino DM with a chi(0) NLSP is excluded.
