Indefinite Delivery Contract 36C25620D0059

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 17 awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with a $1,746,622.95 ceiling value to Winnie-Stowell Hospital District, doing business as The Woodlands Nursing And Rehabilitation Center, to provide community nursing home services for the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center in Shenandoah, Texas. The contract has a period of performance through March 2023, with several firm fixed-price delivery orders issued to date ranging from $200,000 to $840,000. Some orders were designated under the National Interest Action Code for COVID-19 to provide nursing home care during the pandemic. The Woodlands Nursing And Rehabilitation Center, a U.S. local government entity, also holds a second $1.68 million IDC with the VA VISN 17 for community nursing home services through March 2025. These IDCs support the VA's mission of caring for veterans through local healthcare partners, with no set-asides used.

The original solicitation, issued by the VA VISN 16 for the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center, sought multiple-award contracts for community nursing home services in the Houston area. The Woodlands Nursing And Rehabilitation Center was awarded a $400,000 firm fixed-price delivery order under that solicitation in 2020 to provide nursing home care during the COVID-19 pandemic. The contracted services aim to supplement the VA's own healthcare facilities by leveraging local nursing homes to expand access to quality care for veterans.
