Oakland Regional Benefit Office

The Department of Veterans Affairs Benefits Administration Oakland Regional Benefit Office is a sub-agency component that procures goods and services to support veteran benefits delivery and regional office operations in Northern California. The office has awarded 91 federal contracts totaling $8 million in combined potential value since 2012, with $7.2 million obligated to date. Recent activity shows modest but steady procurement volume: 7 awards in 2022, 8 in 2023, 4 in 2024, 7 in 2025, and 6 year-to-date in 2026, with the most recent award issued on September 24, 2026.

Contract competition is concentrated among a small group of vendors. The Consolidated Rehab Group, Inc. dominates, holding 16 of the last five years' awards worth $2 million combined potential value — accounting for 72 percent of recent award count and 58 percent of recent combined potential value across the top five vendors by count and value respectively. Other active primes include Abide International, Inc., Carolina Advanced Digital, Inc., and Cynergy Professional Systems LLC, each with smaller footprints; the remaining 32 vendors hold one to two awards each. The office spreads procurement across 37 distinct prime contractors across the portfolio history, indicating a long tail of vendors despite near-term concentration.

Set-aside designations reflect a split between open and reserved competition. Sixty-eight percent of awards (62 contracts) were awarded with no set-aside designation, while 21 percent (19 awards) targeted Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business firms — a meaningful alignment with VA's mission to support veteran economic participation. Total Small Business awards comprised 7 percent, with sole-source awards to 8(a) and Woman-Owned Small Business vendors each accounting for 1 percent of the portfolio.

No recent federal contract opportunities are on record for this office. The procurement cadence and dollar volumes suggest routine support contracting for regional office operations rather than major acquisition programs, with service and rehabilitation vendors as the primary contractor base.
