Milwaukee Regional Benefit Office

The Department of Veterans Affairs Benefits Administration Milwaukee Regional Benefit Office, a sub-agency within the Veterans Affairs civilian department, administers federal contracts supporting regional Veterans benefits operations and related administrative functions. The office has awarded 44 federal contracts since 2015, with combined potential value of $1.5 million and 97 percent of that amount obligated as of the most recent award on October 11, 2025.

Recent contract volume has declined significantly. The office closed 5 awards in 2020, 5 in 2021, and 6 in 2022, but awarded only 2 in 2024 and 2 in 2025 year-to-date. Across the portfolio history, 25 distinct prime contractors have been awarded contracts, indicating a highly fragmented competitive landscape. Over the last five years, the top five primes by award count (Astrophysics Inc., United Parcel Service CO., Johnson Controls Inc., The Remi Group LLC, and Bloom Transportation Inc.) account for 45 percent of recent awards but individually hold minimal dollar value. When ranked by potential value, the top five primes over the last five years (Fortis Solutions LLC at $172 thousand, Johnson Controls Inc. at $160 thousand, JPL & Associates LLC, Heroes Hire LLC, and SDV Office Systems LLC) cover 29 percent of combined potential value, reflecting a fragmented value-distribution as well.

Set-aside designations show a marked preference for unrestricted competition. Sixty-eight percent of awards carry no set-aside, while Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) accounts for 18 percent, Total Small Business for 11 percent, and Veteran-Owned Small Business for 2 percent. The small-dollar profile and declining recent volume suggest the office is acquiring routine administrative goods and services—likely office supplies, transportation, facilities management, and staffing support—in modest quantities against a stable baseline need. The recent-opportunities block does not report open solicitations.
