Portland Regional Benefit Office

The Department of Veterans Affairs Benefits Administration Portland Regional Benefit Office is a civilian regional office within the VA that administers federal benefits and support services for veterans in its jurisdiction, procuring goods and services to support benefits delivery and veteran support programs at the regional level.

The Portland Regional Benefit Office has awarded 57 federal contracts since 2014, with combined potential value of $1.2 million and $1.1 million in combined dollars obligated (89% of potential value). Recent contract activity has slowed: the office issued 2 awards in 2022, 6 in 2023, 3 in 2024, 1 in 2025, and 1 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent award closed on September 22, 2026. Among 42 distinct prime contractors in the portfolio, the top five by award count hold 54% of recent awards over the last five years, a moderately concentrated base; however, no single vendor dominates, with United Parcel Service Co. and Jamison Professional Services Inc. each holding 2 recent awards. By potential value, the top five vendors account for only 18% of combined potential value over the same window, indicating highly fragmented value concentration. Two of 13 recent awards carry no reported potential value, typical of Schedule task orders, BPA calls, modifications, or below-threshold purchase orders.

Set-aside awards are heavily weighted toward Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business designations: 20 awards (35% of total) carry SDVOSB set-asides, while 7 awards (12%) are designated Total Small Business. The remaining 30 awards (53%) carry no set-aside designation. The regional office's procurement footprint is modest in scale and activity, with minimal recent volume and no dominant prime-contractor base. No recent contract opportunities are recorded against the office.
