St. Paul Regional Benefit Office

The Department of Veterans Affairs Benefits Administration St. Paul Regional Benefit Office is a civilian sub-agency that procures goods and services supporting veterans' benefits operations at its Minnesota regional location. The office awards contracts for facility maintenance, administrative support, information technology, and related services to support the delivery of compensation, pension, and other benefit programs to veterans in its service area.

The St. Paul Regional Benefit Office has awarded 70 contracts since 2016, with combined potential value of $5.1 million and $4.7 million obligated to date. Recent activity shows 6 awards in 2022, 6 in 2023, 4 in 2024, 6 in 2025, and 5 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent recorded award date is 2026-10-24. The office transacts through 56 distinct prime contractors across its portfolio history, indicating a highly fragmented competitive landscape. Over the last five years, Coordinated Defense Supply Systems, Inc. leads by award count with 4 awards totaling $54 thousand potential value, followed by Hamline Construction Inc. with 2 awards ($373 thousand) and Tasks Unlimited Inc. with 2 awards ($24 thousand). By potential value, Disabled Veterans Hawaii LLC dominates recent activity with $731 thousand from a single award, followed by Scdatacom, LLC ($616 thousand) and Hamline Construction Inc. ($373 thousand from two awards). The top five primes by award count hold 36 percent of recent awards, while the top five by potential value hold 42 percent of recent combined potential value.

Set-asides are a dominant feature of the office's contracting strategy. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business awards account for 40 percent of all awards (28 contracts), followed by open competition with no set-aside (26 awards, 37 percent). Total Small Business set-asides comprise 20 percent of awards (14 contracts), and 8(a) Sole Source awards make up 3 percent (2 awards). The office obligates 93 percent of combined potential value across its awards, indicating strong execution against baseline valuations.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded in the source data, nor are any grant awards or grant opportunities. The office appears to operate on a steady procurement cadence of four to six awards annually, with contract values typically under $1 million each.
