National Capital Region Benefit Office

The Department of Veterans Affairs Benefits Administration National Capital Region Benefit Office, a sub-agency unit within the Veterans Affairs benefits and claims processing apparatus, administers federal contracts for operational support and services within its National Capital Region jurisdiction.

The office maintains a minimal contract footprint. Across its portfolio history, the office has awarded 22 contracts with a combined potential value of $573 thousand and combined obligations of $441 thousand (77% of potential value). Award activity was heaviest in 2020 with five contracts; prior years ranged from one to three awards annually. The most recent recorded award closed on April 16, 2021, indicating no active contracting since that date. With only nine distinct prime contractors engaged across the full portfolio history and a total award count of 22, the office transacts infrequently and at sub-million scale.

Contract awards are overwhelmingly unrestricted competition: 21 of 22 awards carried no set-aside designation, with the single remaining award held as a Total Small Business set-aside. This distribution reflects the office's reliance on open-market procurement rather than targeted small-business or 8(a) carve-outs.

The minimal transaction volume, five-year award dormancy since April 2021, and sub-million portfolio value indicate this office is not an active or growing procurement vehicle for business development purposes. No recent contract opportunities are present in the record.
