Bent County Healthcare Center

Bent County Healthcare Center, doing business as Bent County Memorial Nursing Home, is a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Las Animas, Colorado, that has been registered to receive federal awards since January 2005. As a skilled nursing facility specializing in long-term care services for aging and disabled populations, including veterans, Bent County Healthcare Center provides critical healthcare services to rural communities in southern Colorado. The organization has established itself as a key partner to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in supporting the Veterans Health Administration's mission to deliver high-quality care to veterans across multiple states.

Bent County Healthcare Center's federal contracting activity consists exclusively of EXPRESS REPORT services provided to the Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 19 through multiple delivery orders. These reporting services involve generating comprehensive quarterly and annual reports containing detailed data on nursing home care, billing, payments, and administrative information related to the VA's community nursing home program. The delivery orders, which are firm fixed-price contracts with no set-aside designations, range in value from $10 to $52,724.04, with individual monthly or periodic awards issued throughout 2021 through 2025. All contract awards have been issued by Veterans Integrated Service Network 19, which oversees Veterans Health Administration programs across Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. Bent County Healthcare Center serves as the prime contractor on all awards with no identified subcontractors, and the organization has maintained consistent performance in fulfilling these reporting obligations to support the VA's oversight of community nursing home programs serving veteran patients across the VISN 19 region.

Bent County Healthcare Center holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with Veterans Integrated Service Network 19, initially awarded on March 1, 2021, with a ceiling value of $1,003,188.76 and an ultimate completion date of February 28, 2026. This IDC was established to support the VA's community nursing home program by enabling VISN 19 to issue multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders for EXPRESS REPORT services on an as-needed basis. Under this IDC, Bent County Healthcare Center has received monthly or periodic delivery orders throughout the performance period, with the contract specifically designed to provide the VA with critical insights and data necessary for effective management and oversight of long-term care benefits for veteran patients across the VISN 19 region. The IDC contains no set-aside designations and has proven to be a valuable mechanism for the VA to maintain consistent and reliable reporting on community nursing home operations and financial performance serving veterans in Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska.
