Bayou Chateau Nursing Center, Inc.

Bayou Chateau Nursing Center, Inc., doing business as Chateau Nursing Center, operates a for-profit community nursing home facility in Simmesport, Louisiana, providing skilled nursing care and daily medical services to veteran beneficiaries as a prime contractor under Department of Veterans Affairs community nursing home procurement, with no set-aside designation across all awards and 100% of recent activity routed through VA prime contracts and indefinite delivery vehicles.

Chateau Nursing Center operates a single nursing facility in Simmesport with a secondary location in Pineville, Louisiana. The facility is licensed by the Louisiana Department of Health with a minimum three-star nursing facility rating. Services include daily skilled nursing care, physician visits, laboratory work, x-ray services, medical treatment, oral medications, room and meals, and specialized medical support. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) with no subcontract or sub-award activity in the source data.

Customer concentration is extreme. Chateau Nursing Center works with three named federal agencies, and the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 dominates the footprint—80 awards valued at $13.6 million combined potential value account for 87% of all awards and 91% of combined potential value. The broader VA system (VHA VISN 16 plus other VA offices) generates 101 of 117 total awards. The Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service granted one award, a $10,687 energy efficiency upgrade grant. Chateau Nursing Center has maintained a contracting relationship with VISN 16 since 2005, with previous delivery orders ranging from $6,092 to $347,280.

Chateau Nursing Center holds position on five VA parent vehicles. The largest are Basic Ordering Agreement VA256BO0143 (21 task orders, $4.1 million combined potential value) and Basic Ordering Agreement VA25615A0057 (47 task orders, $719 thousand combined potential value), followed by Indefinite Delivery Contract V502P2466 (15 task orders, $698 thousand combined potential value). The underlying indefinite delivery contract for community nursing home services, a single-award vehicle with a $5 million ceiling established July 1, 2020, runs through June 30, 2026. Recent delivery orders include a $241,687.14 order covering July–September 2025, a $480,000 order running through June 30, 2025 (awarded October 1, 2024), and a $162,366.92 order running October 1, 2025 through February 28, 2026. All contracts operate under fixed-price structures with economic price adjustments and carry no set-aside designation. Activity has declined sharply—six awards in 2020, declining to one award each in 2023 and 2024, with three awards recorded in 2025. Combined potential value across all 117 awards is $14.9 million with $3.4 million obligated (23% realization rate), reflecting the vendor's narrow focus on a single VA customer and a single service line.
