The Salvation Army

The Salvation Army Bradenton Corps Division, operating as Salvation Army, is a non-profit child entity of The Salvation Army parent organization that provides emergency residential shelter services and transitional housing for homeless veterans and their families as a prime contractor to the Department of Veterans Affairs, competing under full-and-open (non-set-aside) designations. Headquartered in Bradenton, Florida, the division operates within PSC code Social-Other and NAICS primary classifications of Temporary Shelters and Other Community Housing Services, focusing exclusively on veteran homelessness support within a single federal customer relationship.

The Salvation Army Bradenton Corps Division's entire federal footprint concentrates on the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 (VISN 8), which accounts for all 16 prime awards and 100% of combined potential value ($5.2 million). The division holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with VISN 8 valued at $996,450 running through April 24, 2027, under which six delivery orders have been issued to date. Delivery orders under this IDC have ranged from $75,786 to $219,000, with the most recent $219,000 firm fixed-price delivery order awarded April 25, 2026, for contracted emergency residential services with an ultimate completion date of April 24, 2027. Earlier delivery orders issued between April 2022 and April 2025 carried values of $122,808, $102,310, $123,336, and $108,955, all supporting temporary housing assistance, case management, and comprehensive supportive services for veterans and their families in Pinellas and Manatee Counties, Florida. A secondary IDC (36C24822D0059) carries five task orders totaling $676,000 in combined potential value. Award activity has been sparse but steady — two awards in 2022, one in 2023, three in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026 — with only two awards ($321,000 combined potential value) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.

The division's sub-award activity includes two federal grant sub-awards: one from a HUD-related homeless shelter program (awarded October 1, 2024) providing operational and capacity-building funds with case management and shelter services for HUD-qualifying families, and a second for rental and deposit assistance to low-income Manatee County residents (awarded May 6, 2024, covering the period October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025). The division does not subcontract on other primes' contracts; instead, it operates as the direct service provider under its VA relationship. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $3.4 million (66% of the $5.2 million combined potential value), reflecting a heavily utilized contract vehicle with the single federal customer.
