Hartford Regional Benefit Office

The Department of Veterans Affairs Benefits Administration Hartford Regional Benefit Office, a civilian sub-agency within the Veterans Affairs cabinet department, administers federal contracts supporting benefits delivery and veteran services operations at its Connecticut regional office. The office has awarded 55 federal contracts since 2013, with activity concentrated in the 2022–2023 period and minimal recent procurement volume.

The Hartford Regional Benefit Office's contract portfolio totaled $2.3 million in combined potential value, with $2.2 million obligated. Award volume declined sharply after 2023: 14 awards in 2022, 5 in 2023, 1 in 2024, 1 in 2025, and 1 year-to-date in 2026. Two of the last five years' 22 awards carry no reported potential value, consistent with Schedule task orders, BPA calls, modifications, or below-threshold purchase orders. Among 16 distinct prime contractors across the portfolio's lifetime, McKesson Corporation leads by award count with 11 recent awards totaling $218 thousand combined potential value. By potential value, Johnson Controls, Inc., and VR & E Service For Veterans LLC dominate recent activity at $434 thousand and $425 thousand respectively. Competitive concentration is fragmented; the top five primes by award count hold 95 percent of recent awards but only 52 percent by combined potential value, indicating a dispersed vendor base despite McKesson's award-count leadership. The vast majority of awards carry no set-aside designation (89 percent of contracts); the remainder split between Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (5 percent) and Total Small Business (5 percent) designations.
