Benedictine Health System

Benedictine Health System is a non-profit healthcare organization that provides a range of services to the federal government, primarily through contracts with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration (VHA). The organization specializes in nursing home care, long-term care services, and financial reporting for healthcare network operations. Benedictine Health System operates through several subsidiaries, including Tekakwitha Nursing Center Inc., Saint Anne Of Winona, Benedictine Living Communities Inc., and Benedictine Health Center, which serve various locations across the Midwest and Plains states.

The primary services provided by Benedictine Health System and its subsidiaries through federal contract awards include community nursing home placements, skilled nursing care, and rehabilitative services for veterans. These services are typically delivered at the organization's facilities in states such as Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Additionally, Benedictine Health System provides extensive financial reporting and analysis services to the VA, including "EXPRESS REPORT" services that track nursing home spending, usage metrics, and overall healthcare network financials. These reports are crucial for the VA's oversight and management of its healthcare services across multiple states. The contracts awarded to Benedictine Health System are predominantly firm-fixed-price delivery orders, with no set-aside designations, indicating that the organization competes for these contracts in the open market.

Benedictine Health System holds several Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the VA's Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 (VISN 23). These IDCs serve as umbrella agreements under which the VA can issue task orders for specific services as needed. For example, Saint Anne Of Winona holds a $2 million single-award IDC to provide community nursing home placements across several Midwest states through December 31, 2028. Benedictine Living Communities Inc. has a $1.2 million IDC for community nursing home services across eight states through March 31, 2028. The parent company, Benedictine Health System, also holds a $7 million single-award IDC from VISN 23 for community nursing home placements and skilled nursing/rehabilitative care across an eight-state region. These IDCs allow the VA to efficiently procure necessary healthcare services for veterans while maintaining flexibility in terms of volume and specific requirements.
