Palolo Chinese Home

Palolo Chinese Home, a tax-exempt non-profit organization headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii, serves as a specialized healthcare provider focused on delivering community nursing home services and financial reporting support to the Department of Veterans Affairs. Registered in SAM.gov since March 7, 2020, the organization holds Disadvantaged Business Enterprise certification and has established itself as a critical partner in the VA's Community Care Network program serving veterans in Hawaii and the Pacific region. The organization provides direct long-term care services, administrative healthcare support, and comprehensive financial documentation to federal health agencies supporting the veteran population.

Palolo Chinese Home has consistently delivered community nursing home services to the Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 through numerous prime federal contract awards since 2021. The organization has received multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders under indefinite delivery contracts totaling substantial annual values, with individual delivery orders ranging from approximately $2,556 to $3.55 million for direct community nursing home care provision. In addition to direct care services, Palolo Chinese Home provides quarterly financial reporting on Community Nursing Home expenditures to VISN 21, with express reporting delivery orders ranging from approximately $12,969 to $107,609 per quarter. All contracts have been awarded directly to Palolo Chinese Home as a prime contractor with no identified set-aside designations, sole-source awards, or subcontractors. The funding agency for all federal contract awards is exclusively the Department of Veterans Affairs through VISN 21, reflecting the organization's specialized role in supporting VA healthcare delivery and financial oversight in Hawaii.

Palolo Chinese Home has received a significant prime federal grant award from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control. The organization was awarded a three-year project grant commencing October 1, 2024 and extending through October 1, 2027 to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in privately-owned housing occupied by children under six years of age. The grant supports comprehensive lead hazard reduction activities targeting pre-1960 housing units in low-income and minority neighborhoods, with objectives including targeted hazard control in high-risk housing, cost-effective remediation methods, and capacity building of trained and certified individuals to address lead hazards safely and effectively. The award demonstrates Palolo Chinese Home's expanding role beyond veteran healthcare into broader community health and safety initiatives protecting vulnerable populations, particularly low-income families with young children.

Palolo Chinese Home currently holds two prime Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 21. The active IDC, awarded November 1, 2024, carries a ceiling value of $3,000,000 with a performance period through October 31, 2029, and encompasses the provision of Community Nursing Home services and associated quarterly financial reporting supporting VA healthcare delivery for veterans in Hawaii. This single-award contract represents a continuation and expansion of the organization's prior relationship with VISN 21 under a predecessor $6.99 million IDC awarded November 1, 2021 with a performance period through October 31, 2024. Four delivery orders have been issued under the current IDC totaling approximately $308,000, including one community nursing home services delivery order valued at $250,000 and three express reporting delivery orders for fiscal year 2025 quarterly expenditures. Both IDCs serve as vehicles for firm fixed-price delivery orders issued directly by VISN 21, with all work performed in Honolulu, Hawaii, and no set-aside designations applied to either contract.
