Loma Linda University Medical Center

Loma Linda University Medical Center (LLUMC), a non-profit tax-exempt hospital and academic medical center located in Loma Linda, California, has established itself as a specialized federal contractor and grantee providing advanced medical testing, radiation services, and healthcare delivery capabilities to multiple federal agencies. Registered in SAM.gov since June 20, 2003, with a UEI of K5TMAM98KHD3, LLUMC operates as a parent entity with subsidiary relationships and maintains an active federal contracting presence across both contract and grant funding mechanisms. The organization leverages its sophisticated medical research capabilities, advanced laboratory facilities, and specialized equipment to deliver services that support federal agency missions in areas ranging from healthcare delivery for veterans to electronic hardware radiation testing for space missions.

LLUMC has received substantial federal contract awards totaling approximately $620,000 across multiple purchase orders and delivery orders, with a primary focus on two service lines: proton accelerator beam time for radiation testing of electronic hardware, and laboratory testing services for the Department of Veterans Affairs. For radiation testing contracts, LLUMC has consistently provided proton beam time to support federal agencies through the Shared Services Center, with individual purchase orders ranging from $8,125 to $30,000, typically priced at approximately $1,000 to $1,250 per hour for 12 to 16 hours of beam access. These radiation testing contracts have supported NASA initiatives and other federal agencies requiring advanced testing capabilities for electronic components and hardware. Beginning in March 2023, LLUMC entered into delivery orders under an indefinite delivery contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 (VISN 22) for laboratory testing services, with two significant delivery orders valued at $205,037 and $74,785.80, providing diagnostic and laboratory testing capabilities to support veteran healthcare across the VISN 22 region through March 2028. All prime contract awards were awarded without set-aside designations, indicating LLUMC's competitive standing in unrestricted federal contracting. Additionally, LLUMC received a subcontract award from The Aerospace Corporation on May 16, 2024, for proton beam testing services, demonstrating its role as a specialized vendor serving prime federal contractors and their downstream requirements.

LLUMC has been awarded three prime federal grants totaling approximately $1.434 million, addressing rural healthcare access, behavioral health services, and community health infrastructure development. The organization received a $434,000 Distance Learning and Telemedicine grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service under CFDA 10.855, with performance extending through December 2026, designed to enhance telecommunications-enabled educational and medical services in rural communities. LLUMC also received a project grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) for a mental health outreach program targeting the sickle cell disease community, which concluded in September 2025 and involved collaboration with Loma Linda University School of Behavioral Health and San Manuel Gateway College to develop community health workers, navigators, and behavioral health professionals delivering coordinated care and wrap-around services. Furthermore, LLUMC received a $1 million Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending grant from the Healthcare Systems Bureau (announced July 1, 2022, with completion targeted for December 31, 2025) to support Phase 1 of the Increasing Access to Healthcare in Coachella Valley initiative, providing equipment and furniture funding for facility renovations in partnership with SAC Health and Loma Linda University. In addition to prime grant awards, LLUMC received multiple sub-grant awards from the California Office of Emergency Services between 2023 and 2024 related to COVID-19 response funding, including allocations for premium pay, contract labor, testing, personal protective equipment, ventilators, therapeutics, temporary and expanded facilities, emergency staffing, capital equipment, and medical directorship covering periods from early 2020 through mid-2023.

LLUMC holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Integrated Service Network 22, valued at a ceiling of $224,357.40 with performance extending through March 2028, for the provision of laboratory testing services in support of medical care delivery for veterans throughout the VISN 22 region. This IDV contract operates without set-aside designations and has generated two delivery orders to date: a $205,037 delivery order awarded March 29, 2023, with completion in March 2024, and a subsequent $74,785.80 delivery order awarded September 8, 2025, with completion targeted for March 7, 2026. The contract structure allows the VA VISN 22 to issue task orders on an as-needed basis for laboratory diagnostic testing requirements, ensuring continuity of care and cost-predictable access to LLUMC's specialized medical testing capabilities. The indefinite delivery vehicle enables the federal government to leverage LLUMC's advanced laboratory infrastructure and expertise in diagnostic testing while providing LLUMC with a sustained contracting relationship across multiple fiscal years, supporting the organization's role as a regional healthcare provider for the federal veteran population.
