Covenant Medical Center

Covenant Medical Center, a non-profit hospital organization operating as Covenant School of Nursing in Lubbock, Texas, has established itself as a reliable provider of specialized laboratory testing services to the federal government. The organization, which maintains tax-exempt status and is registered in SAM.gov since September 2010, has developed a consistent working relationship with the Department of Veterans Affairs to support critical healthcare operations in the Lubbock region.

Covenant Medical Center has secured multiple federal contract awards through the Veterans Integrated Service Network 17, all focused on the delivery of STAT reference laboratory testing services. The organization has received three consecutive delivery order contracts awarded on December 1 of 2023, 2024, and 2025, with contract values of $5,613.33, $7,268.25, and $6,268.25 respectively, for a combined total of $19,149.83. Each delivery order contract operates on a firm-fixed-price basis with ultimate completion dates set for November 30 of the following year. All awards were made directly to Covenant Medical Center as the prime contractor with no set-aside designations applied, indicating direct procurement for the organization's demonstrated capabilities. The contract work is performed entirely in Lubbock, Texas, with no identified subcontractors involved in service delivery. The funding agency for all awards is the Veterans Integrated Service Network 17, a civilian component of the Department of Veterans Affairs responsible for managing healthcare services across a multi-state region.

Covenant Medical Center holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Veterans Integrated Service Network 17, established on December 1, 2023, with a ceiling value of $40,000 and an ultimate completion date of November 30, 2028. This IDC does not fall under a parent vehicle structure and serves as the procurement framework from which the previously mentioned delivery orders are issued. The contract enables VISN 17 to issue task orders on an as-needed basis for STAT reference laboratory testing services in the Lubbock area, providing flexible and continuous access to critical medical testing capabilities throughout the five-year performance period. The IDC structure allows the Veterans Health Administration to efficiently manage and procure specialized laboratory services without requiring individual competitive processes for each task order, streamlining federal procurement while ensuring reliable service continuity for veteran healthcare needs in the region.
