Oregon State Office

The Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service Oregon State Office is a civilian sub-agency that finances and services housing loans and community facility loans for rural residents and businesses in Oregon, transacting primarily through contract awards to support loan administration and facility operations.

The Rural Housing Service (RHS) has issued 971 federal contract awards since 2016, generating $1.7 million in combined obligation across 43 distinct prime contractors. Activity peaked at 324 awards in 2017 and 315 in 2018, then declined to 215 in 2019, 82 in 2020, and 1 award in 2021. The most recent award closed on June 17, 2021, indicating that the contract portfolio has been inactive for over five years. Combined potential value and obligated dollars are both $1.7 million, reflecting relatively modest individual award sizes typical of rural housing service administration and loan-servicing operations.

Contract competition is highly fragmented across the 43 primes that have transacted with the office. The set-aside mix skews heavily toward open competition: 88 percent of awards (856) carry no set-aside designation, while 12 percent (115 awards) are small-business set-asides. The predominance of non-set-aside awards suggests that RHS Oregon either awarded many contracts below small-business size threshold requirements or that small firms competed in open pools.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded for this office. The absence of contract awards after June 2021 and the lack of active solicitations indicate that procurement activity at RHS Oregon has been dormant or consolidated into parent-agency or regional-office structures for over five years. Firms pursuing Rural Housing Service work should monitor the national USDA Rural Development office or regional consolidations rather than focus on the Oregon State Office directly.
