Houston Regional Benefit Office

The Department of Veterans Affairs Benefits Administration Houston Regional Benefit Office is a civilian sub-agency that procures services and supplies in support of veterans' benefits administration and regional office operations in the Houston area. The office has awarded 96 federal contracts totaling $4.9 million in combined potential value since 2012, with $4.8 million obligated to date. Contract activity has been sporadic, averaging between 1 and 11 awards per year over the last five years—5 awards in 2022, 4 in 2023, 11 in 2024, 3 in 2025, and 1 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent award was issued on 2026-09-23.

The competitive landscape is highly fragmented. United Parcel Service Co. leads by award count with 5 recent awards totaling $32 thousand in potential value; The Trevino Group, Inc. leads by potential value at $974 thousand across a single award. The top five primes by award count account for 38% of recent awards, while the top five by potential value cover 39% of combined potential value. The 55 distinct prime contractors in the portfolio history signal a broad vendor base with no single dominant force.

Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides dominate the award mix, representing 35% of all awards plus an additional 1% sole-source SDVOSB award. Total Small Business (non-SDVOSB) accounts for 15% of awards, and Veteran-Owned Small Business (non-disabled) comprises 1%. Notably, 48% of awards carry no set-aside designation, indicating a balanced strategy between open competition and veteran-focused procurement. This mix aligns with the VA's legislative mandate to support veteran-owned businesses while maintaining competitive procurement practices.
