About this agency
The Department of Veterans Affairs Benefits Administration Buffalo Regional Benefit Office, a sub-agency within the Veterans Affairs benefits infrastructure, procures goods and services to support regional veteran benefit delivery operations across upstate New York. The Buffalo Regional Benefit Office awards contracts for services including mailroom operations, architectural engineering, supplies, and logistics support necessary to administer veteran benefits at the regional level.
The office has issued 63 federal contract awards since October 2012, with recent activity averaging 5.2 awards per year over the last five years (8 awards in 2022, 5 in 2023, 3 in 2024, 5 in 2025, and 4 year-to-date in 2026). Combined award potential value stands at $3.6 million, with $3.4 million obligated to date (95% of potential). Recent awards show typical government scheduling patterns: three of the 25 awards issued in the last five years carry no reported potential value, indicating Schedule task orders, BPA calls, modifications, or below-threshold purchase orders alongside definitive contracts.
The competitive landscape is moderately concentrated by award count and highly concentrated by potential value. Over the last five years, United Parcel Service Co. and VR & E Service For Veterans LLC each hold 5 awards (together covering 56% of recent award count), with United Parcel Service Co. earning minimal reported potential value ($6 thousand combined) while VR & E Service For Veterans LLC accumulated $249 thousand. By potential value, the top five primes hold 73% of combined potential, led by Iron Sword Enterprises, LLC with a single award valued at $2 million; VR & E Service For Veterans LLC ranks second at $249 thousand across five awards. The remaining 30 vendors in the portfolio share dispersed activity, including two vendors transacting through Schedule vehicles with unreported dollar values.
Set-asides account for 40% of all awards: 12 awards designated as Total Small Business (19%), 11 as Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (17%), and 2 as Veteran-Owned Small Business (3%). The majority—60% of awards—carry no set-aside designation. Small business and veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB and VOSB combined) activity reflects the agency's veteran-serving mission and the relatively modest dollar scale of regional benefit-office procurement.
No recent federal contract opportunities are recorded against the Buffalo Regional Benefit Office in the source material.
