Nebraska Department Of Veterans' Affairs

The Nebraska Department of Veterans' Affairs (NDVA) is a state government entity dedicated to serving and supporting veterans across Nebraska. Registered in SAM.gov and operating from Lincoln, Nebraska, the organization provides critical administrative and operational support to various Veterans Affairs (VA) medical facilities throughout the state. Through federal contract awards, NDVA acts as a prime contractor for the Veterans Integrated Service Network 23, receiving purchase orders to support VA medical facilities in locations such as Norfolk, Bellevue, Lincoln, and Scottsbluff. These contracts typically range from $45,000 to $390,000 and involve administrative support, healthcare-related services, and operational assistance essential to maintaining VA medical infrastructure.

The federal contract awards for NDVA consistently demonstrate a focus on supporting VA medical facilities across Nebraska. These firm fixed-price purchase orders, issued by the Veterans Integrated Service Network 23, do not have set-aside designations and cover multiple years of funding. The contracts support various VA medical facilities, including state veterans' homes in different Nebraska cities. Each contract typically represents a specific year of funding (such as "Funding Year Five" or "Option Period") and ranges in value from $45,000 to $390,000. The contracts are designed to provide administrative support, healthcare services, and operational assistance that ensures the effective functioning of VA medical facilities throughout the state.

NDVA has also received substantial federal grant funding to enhance veteran services across Nebraska. Notable grant awards include an $8.39 million Project Grant from the VA National Cemetery Administration for veterans' cemetery establishment and a $12.2 million Project Grant from the Veterans Health Administration for renovations at the Eastern Nebraska Veterans Home in Bellevue. The grants support critical infrastructure improvements, including replacing semi-private domiciliary beds with private beds, expanding adult day health care programs, and creating additional skilled nursing beds. Additionally, NDVA has received sub-grants from the Nebraska Department of Transportation for purchasing transit minivans to support veteran transportation needs and a COVID-19 related sub-grant from the Department of Military Nebraska for the Norfolk Veterans Home.
