Oakbend Medical Center

Oakbend Medical Center is a non-profit healthcare provider registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since October 26, 2018, with its registration valid through January 29, 2026. The organization, specifically operating through its Avalon Place Wharton division located in Wharton, Texas, primarily provides community nursing home services to the federal government, with a specific focus on serving veterans through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). As a corporate entity classified as a tax-exempt, non-profit organization, Oakbend Medical Center specializes in long-term care services, offering accommodations, medical care, and support for veterans requiring extended healthcare assistance.

Through its federal contract awards, Oakbend Medical Center has consistently delivered community nursing home services exclusively to the VA's Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Veterans Integrated Service Network 17, supporting the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center in Richmond, Texas. The organization has been awarded multiple firm-fixed price delivery order contracts ranging from $97,500 to $585,661, with performance periods typically spanning annual cycles from July 1 to June 30. These contracts have been critical in supporting the VA's long-term care capacity, particularly during the Coronavirus pandemic. All contract awards have been procured through full and open competition, with no specific business type set-asides, demonstrating Oakbend's ability to compete effectively in federal contracting opportunities.

Oakbend Medical Center holds two significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the VA-VHA Network 17, providing a strategic framework for delivering community nursing home services. The first IDC, awarded in July 2023, is a single-award contract with a potential value of $1.7 million, enabling the VA to issue firm-fixed price delivery orders through June 2026. The second IDC, awarded in July 2020 with a potential value of $1.17 million, is a multiple-award contract specifically tied to the Coronavirus COVID-19 national emergency response. These IDCs have facilitated the issuance of multiple delivery orders, allowing Oakbend to utilize its Avalon Place Wharton facilities in Wharton and Richmond, Texas, to provide comprehensive long-term care services for veterans, with contract values and performance periods strategically aligned to meet evolving VA healthcare needs.
