The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society

The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society is a non-profit organization registered as a corporate entity with tax-exempt status, operating as a subsidiary of Sanford Health. Headquartered in Ottumwa, Iowa, the organization provides nursing home and long-term care services to federal agencies, with a primary focus on supporting veterans' healthcare needs. The organization is registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) and has been actively participating in federal contract awards since at least 2020.

The organization has exclusively received federal contract awards from the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration (VA-VHA), specifically through Veterans Integrated Service Network 23. These contracts are consistently focused on providing nursing home services, submitting finalized reports, and delivering spend data to support VA programs. The contract awards, ranging from $5,355 to $667,876, are firm fixed-price delivery orders and purchase orders. None of the contracts have been associated with socioeconomic set-aside designations. The contracts are specifically for Medicare/Medicaid certified facilities offering long-term, post-acute, and respite nursing care across eight Midwestern states, with the primary place of performance being Ottumwa, Iowa.

The organization holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) from VA-VHA, valued up to $1 million, with an ultimate completion date of November 30, 2026. This IDC was awarded on December 1, 2021, and has already generated multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders totaling $940,317. The IDC supports VA healthcare programs by procuring nursing home services and reporting from a non-profit provider specializing in long-term care. The contract allows for anticipated one-year task orders and covers nursing home services across multiple Midwestern states. The delivery orders under this IDC have consistently been for express reports covering quarterly nursing home spend and service data, with performance periods typically aligning with fiscal years and ending on September 30 of each respective year.
