The Lutheran Home Association

The Lutheran Home Association is a non-profit organization that provides nursing home and long-term care services to veterans through federal contract awards. Registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since July 2009, the organization operates as a tax-exempt corporate entity and primarily serves as a parent company. The Lutheran Home Association, through its subsidiary The Lutheran Home of Belle Plaine, has established a strong partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to deliver essential healthcare services to America's veteran population.

The Lutheran Home Association, specifically through The Lutheran Home of Belle Plaine, has been awarded multiple delivery orders by the Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 (VISN 23). These awards are primarily for the provision of community nursing home care and long-term care services to veterans. Recent contracts include a $778,571.47 firm fixed-price delivery order for fiscal year 2024, a $306,225.85 order for services from April to September 2023, and a $203,507.34 order for the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. Additionally, a $1.44 million delivery order was awarded for the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. All of these contracts fall under the VA's EXPRESS REPORT contract vehicle, which is designed to support veterans' healthcare programs. Notably, these awards did not utilize any set-aside designations, indicating that The Lutheran Home Association competed for these contracts in an open market.

The Lutheran Home Association, through its Belle Plaine subsidiary, holds a significant Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) awarded by the VA VHA VISN 23. This single-award IDC, valued at $7 million, was awarded on March 1, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2025. The contract allows VISN 23 to issue delivery orders for nursing home and long-term care services across its seven-state coverage area as needed. This IDC enables the VA to efficiently procure quality long-term care for veterans through an established service provider with expertise in this domain. Under this IDC, VISN 23 has already issued multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders, demonstrating the ongoing need for The Lutheran Home Association's services in supporting the healthcare needs of America's veteran population.
