The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society

The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society, doing business as Good Samaritan Society–St. John's, is a non-profit, tax-exempt healthcare organization based in Kearney, Nebraska that provides nursing home and rehabilitation services exclusively to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor on a single-award indefinite delivery contract. The organization operates as a child entity of Sanford Health and competes on full-and-open (non-set-aside) federal contracts.

Good Samaritan Society–St. John's holds a $3.36 million single-award IDC with the VA's Veterans Integrated Service Network 23, awarded in May 2022 and running through April 2027, to deliver community nursing home and rehabilitation services at its Kearney facility. The organization issues firm fixed-price delivery orders quarterly under this IDC to produce "EXPRESS REPORT" documents that track and analyze healthcare spending and performance metrics for VA nursing home operations in Nebraska. Representative delivery orders include a $1.01 million order for FY24 Q4 reporting (ultimate completion September 2024), a $793,287 order for FY25 Q3 and estimated Q4 reporting (ultimate completion September 2025), and a $406,026 order for FY25 Q1 reporting (ultimate completion September 2026). The organization's customer base is entirely concentrated with the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 23, accounting for 100% of awards (16 delivery orders) and $13.5 million in combined potential value across 19 total awards since 1991.

The vendor holds two active parent vehicles: a Basic Ordering Agreement (VA26314A0023) carrying 9 task orders valued at $4.6 million and an Indefinite Delivery Contract (36C26322D0065) carrying 4 task orders valued at $2.8 million. Award activity has been sparse in recent years — one award in each of 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 — with only $406,000 in combined potential value reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure in that window. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the organization reported invoiced revenue of approximately $1 million in FY2024 with 5.6 FTEs delivered to federal nursing home operations; SCI coverage runs FY2022 through FY2024 and captures federal service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold. The organization does not engage subcontractors and performs all work directly. Good Samaritan Society–St. John's capability portfolio is narrowly focused on skilled nursing care and long-term adult care services (NAICS 623110, PSC nursing home services) with no diversification into other federal customer agencies or service lines.
