The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society

The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society, doing business as Good Samaritan Society - Lakota, is a non-profit tax-exempt healthcare organization that operates nursing homes and senior care facilities and holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 for community nursing home services across eight Midwestern and Western states. The vendor operates as a subsidiary of Sanford Health, also a non-profit healthcare system headquartered in Fargo, North Dakota, and competes full-and-open (no set-aside designations across the footprint).

The vendor's federal footprint is concentrated entirely with one customer: VA VHA VISN 23 accounts for all 14 awards and the full $4.8 million combined potential value. The underlying vehicle is a $3 million single-award IDC running from March 1, 2022, through February 28, 2027, from which delivery orders are issued on a task-order basis. Concrete recent work includes a $187,538 delivery order (March 1, 2022) for express reporting on FY22 non-VA healthcare spend in North Dakota; a $207,709 delivery order (October 1, 2021) for express reporting on FY22 and FY23 non-VA healthcare spend; a $101,352 delivery order (October 1, 2022) for express reporting on FY23 non-VA healthcare spend; a $75,472 delivery order (October 1, 2023) for express reporting on FY24 nursing home spend; a $4,964 delivery order (October 1, 2024) for express reporting on FY25 nursing home spend; and a $8,945 delivery order (October 1, 2025) for nursing home services with ultimate completion September 30, 2026. The vendor's delivery orders sit under two parent vehicles: a Basic Ordering Agreement (VA26316A0008) with 7 task orders valued at $1.4 million, and an Indefinite Delivery Contract (36C26322D0057) with 5 task orders valued at $384 thousand.

Award volume has been light and volatile — one award in 2021, three in 2022, one in 2023, one in 2024, and one in 2025. Combined dollars obligated total $1.8 million against a combined potential value of $4.8 million (37% drawn down as of the source date). Only one award faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, carrying a negligible recompete exposure of $9 thousand. The vendor's capability framing is nursing home and senior care services; primary NAICS coding reflects Nursing Care Facilities (Skilled Nursing Facilities) across all 14 awards, with PSC split between Medical-Nursing (8 awards) and Nursing Home, Long-Term & Adult Day Care Services (6 awards). The vendor does not subcontract and operates exclusively as a prime to VA VHA VISN 23, with no presence on government-wide vehicles or other federal customer agencies.
