Loyola University Of Chicago

Loyola University Of Chicago Health Sciences Campus Division, doing business as Health Sciences Campus, is a private non-profit academic medical center that operates as a prime contractor delivering organ transplant and clinical research services to the Department of Veterans Affairs, with secondary activity across the National Institutes of Health and other health-related federal agencies. The division is a child entity within Loyola University Of Chicago, headquartered in Maywood, Illinois.

Health Sciences Campus competes predominantly full-and-open across federal civilian agencies and does not rely on set-aside categories. The division's federal footprint centers on two distinct capability areas: live donor kidney transplant and nephrology services for veterans, and biomedical research spanning immunology, infectious disease, cardiovascular disease, and translational medicine.

On the contract side, Health Sciences Campus holds multiple single-award indefinite delivery vehicles with the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 (VISN 12) and Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 (VISN 4) for organ transplant and veteran services. The largest vehicle, contract 36C25222D0061, has generated 76 delivery orders totaling $423 thousand in combined potential value. Representative contract awards include numerous firm-fixed-price delivery orders for "living donor kidney services" and "long-term live donor (kidney) services for Hines VA Hospital" ranging from $2,300 to $27,467.53, issued by VISN 12 throughout 2024, 2025, and 2026. A secondary contract vehicle (VA69D13D0358) carrying $1.3 million combined potential value supports veteran services through VISN 4. Contract work is performed at the Health Sciences Campus in Maywood, Illinois, with place of performance at Edward Hines Jr. VA Hospital.

Grant activity is substantial. Health Sciences Campus acts as prime recipient on federal grants spanning the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Cancer Institute, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Defense Health Agency, and other NIH institutes. Representative prime grants include a $1.696 million Defense Health Agency project grant (CFDA 12.420, awarded September 2026) for novel angiopoietin-1 mimetic peptide development in severe burn injury; a $1.25 million National Heart Lung and Blood Institute award (CFDA 93.837, awarded September 2025) on cardiac atrial contractility regulation; a $1.378 million National Institute of Child Health and Human Development grant (CFDA 93.865, awarded June 2026) for the Family Assessment and Momentary Evaluation (FAME) study examining self-management in youth with spina bifida; a $1.896 million Health Resources and Services Administration Nurse Education award (CFDA 93.359, awarded September 2025) for rural nursing education and workforce expansion; and a $551,926 National Institute on Drug Abuse project grant (CFDA 93.279, awarded May 2026) for polysubstance use epidemiology leveraging large-scale real-world EHR data. The Health Sciences Campus also participates as sub-recipient on grants awarded to Northwestern University, The Regents of the University of Colorado, University of Wisconsin System, and other prime academic institutions.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the VA. The top five customer agencies account for 60% of recent awards by count. Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 alone holds 128 awards worth $5.5 million in combined potential value, driven by the recurring small-dollar delivery orders for transplant services. The National Institutes of Health portfolio (116 awards across multiple institutes) and National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (41 awards, $3.3 million combined potential value) anchor the biomedical research footprint. Six Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 awards worth $557 thousand round out the VA concentration.

Service Contract Inventory data show sparse activity above the $150,000 reporting threshold: $757 thousand in invoiced revenue on SCI-reportable prime contracts across FY2022 and FY2024, with approximately 0.8 to 1.0 FTEs reported in those years. On federal service contracts, median government-paid rates ran around $203/hr, with senior labor pricing through $232/hr. The division does not report subcontractor engagement on SCI-reportable prime contracts.

Activity has remained stable, averaging 58 awards per year across 2022–2026 with 61 awards in 2026. Seventy-seven awards carrying combined potential value of $183 thousand face completion within the next twenty-four months and represent recompete opportunity. Health Sciences Campus competes as a prime contractor in 84% of awards; sub-award activity (16%) reflects participation in larger research consortia and collaborative grant structures led by external institutions.

The division's capability portfolio is anchored in specialized clinical services—live donor kidney transplant evaluation, surgical procedures, post-operative nephrology care, and single-case organ removal services—and biomedical research in cellular and molecular mechanisms of inflammatory disease, cardiovascular dysfunction, cancer biology, substance use disorders, and emerging infectious diseases. The division operates across Maywood, Illinois with nationwide reach through VA partnerships and multi-site NIH research consortia.
