Missouri State Office

The Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service Missouri State Office is a civilian sub-agency that administers rural housing loans, grants, and related services to eligible borrowers and communities in Missouri, procuring administrative and professional services to support that mission. The office operates as part of USDA's Rural Housing Service, which delivers housing and community-development financing across rural America.

Contract activity at the Missouri State Office is minimal and declining. The office has issued 194 total contract awards since 2015, with combined potential value of $1.1 million and $988 thousand obligated. Recent volume has contracted sharply: 8 awards in 2020, 6 in 2021, 3 in 2022, 2 in 2023, and 1 in 2024, with the most recent award closed on September 25, 2024. The contract portfolio is highly fragmented across 67 distinct prime contractors, with no single vendor holding meaningful market share. Interior Resource Group Inc. leads by combined potential value at $115 thousand across one award, followed by Missouri Press Service Inc. at $45 thousand across three awards and National Title & Escrow LLC at $23 thousand across two awards. These three vendors together account for only 17 percent of combined potential value in recent activity.

Set-asides split almost evenly: 97 awards (50%) carried Small Business set-asides, while 96 awards (49%) used no set-aside, and 1 award (1%) was partially set-aside for small business. The work is transactional and low-dollar, typical of state-office administrative contracting. No recent contract opportunities are currently recorded as open against the Missouri State Office.

The office's contracting footprint is declining and carries minimal volume and value. Pursuit is warranted only for vendors already embedded in rural housing or USDA administrative contracting and seeking to maintain small, routine service and support relationships. For new entrants or firms seeking significant revenue exposure, this office does not represent a material opportunity.
