New York Regional Benefit Office

The Department of Veterans Affairs Benefits Administration New York Regional Benefit Office is a civilian sub-agency within the Veterans Affairs department that administers federal benefits programs for veterans and their beneficiaries in New York, procuring supplies, services, and support for regional benefits delivery and vocational rehabilitation.

The office has awarded 64 federal contracts since 2013, with combined potential value of $3.5 million and 98% of that value obligated. Recent activity has declined: 17 awards in 2022, 5 in 2023, 5 in 2024, 3 in 2025, and 3 year-to-date in 2026. Among 33 awards recorded in the last five years, 4 carry no reported potential value, typical of Schedule task orders, BPA calls, modifications, or below-threshold purchase orders. The office engages 26 distinct prime contractors across its portfolio history.

Over the last five years, the competitive landscape is concentrated. By award count, the top five primes account for 85 percent of recent awards: McKesson Corporation leads with 12 awards totaling $218 thousand in potential value, followed by United Parcel Service CO. with 6 awards ($21 thousand), South Dade Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Inc. with 4 awards ($75 thousand), VR & E Service For Veterans LLC with 4 awards ($194 thousand), and Vocational Research Institute LLC with 2 awards ($22 thousand). By potential value, concentration is moderate: the top five primes hold 68 percent of combined potential value, dominated by DDG, Incorporated with a single $1.9 million award, followed by McKesson Corporation and VR & E Service For Veterans LLC.

Set-aside usage is light. Seventy-five percent of awards carry no set-aside designation, while 23 percent are Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-asides—consistent with the office's veteran-focused mission. One percent of awards are designated Total Small Business.

No recent contract opportunities or grant opportunities are recorded against the office.
