Albuquerque Regional Benefit Office

The Department of Veterans Affairs Benefits Administration Albuquerque Regional Benefit Office is a sub-agency within the VA responsible for administering benefits and services to veterans in its region, and it procures contracts to support regional operations and veteran-serving programs. The office has awarded 37 contracts since 2012, with a combined potential value of $534 thousand and $476 thousand obligated. Recent activity has been sparse: 5 awards in 2020, 4 in 2021, 1 in 2022, 2 in 2023, and 2 in 2024.

Contract competition is highly fragmented over the last five years. United Parcel Service CO. leads by award count with 2 recent awards (potential value not reported, consistent with Schedule task orders or BPA calls), while Microtechnologies LLC holds the largest reported contract value at $56 thousand. The remaining four tracked primes each hold a single award, and 20 distinct prime contractors have transacted with the office across the full portfolio history. The top five primes by potential value account for only 17% of recent combined potential value, reflecting a dispersed vendor base with no dominant player.

Set-asides are heavily skewed toward unrestricted competition: 29 awards (78%) carry no set-aside designation. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) represents 19% of awards (7 contracts), and one Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) award rounds out the remaining 3%. The office does not report a meaningful use of 8(a), HUBZone, or women-owned small-business set-asides.

One-third of recent awards (2 of 6 over the last five years) have no reported potential value, typical of Schedule task orders, BPA calls, modifications, or below-threshold purchase orders. This signals that the office transacts through government-wide acquisition vehicles and small procurements that fall below formal reporting thresholds. With low annual award volume, small dollar ceiling, and minimal concentration, this office is a low-volume transactional point unlikely to support significant BD effort. No recent contract opportunities are recorded. Pursue this office only if your firm holds an existing Schedule contract or BPA with the VA or has specific veteran-services or regional-operations expertise aligned to the office's mission.
