The Salvation Army

The Salvation Army Miami Area Command Division, doing business as Salvation Army, is a tax-exempt non-profit organization registered with the federal government to receive contract and grant awards. Based in Miami, Florida, The Salvation Army specializes in providing comprehensive services to vulnerable populations, with a particular focus on addressing homelessness among veterans in the southeastern United States. The organization leverages its community-based expertise to deliver targeted interventions that combine outreach, assessment, and housing assistance with benefits connection services designed to facilitate transitions to permanent housing solutions.

The Salvation Army Miami Area Command Division has exclusively focused its federal contracting activities on homeless veteran services through awards from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 (VA VISN 8). Since May 2021, the organization has received six delivery order contracts totaling approximately $2.55 million in cumulative awards for homeless veteran shelter services in the Miami region. These delivery orders, issued between May 2021 and November 2025, have provided outreach, assessment, temporary housing assistance, and benefits connection services to veterans experiencing homelessness, with award values ranging from $169,448 to $703,008. All contracts utilize firm fixed-price payment structures with no set-aside designations, reflecting the organization's status as a non-profit entity. The delivery orders have been structured with varying performance periods, with some spanning multiple years through May 2029, demonstrating the VA's confidence in The Salvation Army's sustained execution capability and its ability to provide consistent, high-quality services to this vulnerable veteran population in the Miami area.

The Salvation Army Miami Area Command Division holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $3.41 million that was awarded by VA VISN 8 on November 12, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of November 11, 2026. This IDC serves as the primary contracting vehicle through which the VA has consolidated its homeless veteran service initiatives in the Miami region, enabling the issuance of structured delivery orders rather than requiring individual task order solicitations. Under this IDC, The Salvation Army has received four delivery orders totaling approximately $1.90 million against the $3.41 million ceiling, with awards issued in November 2022, November 2023, November 2024, and November 2025. The IDC encompasses comprehensive homeless services including outreach, assessment, temporary housing assistance, benefits connection, and transitional housing support designed to connect homeless veterans with VA benefits and permanent housing solutions. All work is performed in Miami, Florida, utilizing firm fixed-price pricing structures with no set-aside designations. The contract structure reflects VA VISN 8's strategic confidence in The Salvation Army's non-profit expertise in vulnerable population services and its demonstrated track record delivering similar homeless veteran services since 2019, positioning the organization as a key partner in the VA's regional efforts to address veteran homelessness.
