Dental Digital Imaging Systems

The Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery established a Master IDIQ for dental digital imaging (DDI) systems on September 28, 2018, with a shared ceiling of $11.6 million. Ordering under this vehicle closed on September 26, 2023, and no new task orders may be placed. The vehicle is no longer active for new procurements.

This IDIQ contracted integrated DDI hardware and software solutions, including replacement of servers, workstations, barcode scanners, CD/DVD publishing stations, x-ray sensors, and intra-oral and extra-oral dental x-ray machines for Navy Dental Facilities and branch clinics. Army and Air Force Dental Commands could also purchase equipment and maintenance off the vehicle.

Twenty-two delivery orders totaling $8.7 million in combined potential value were placed between September 2018 and August 2021. The vehicle obligated $8.4 million (96% of combined potential value), indicating near-complete draw-down. Activity peaked in 2019 with 12 orders; subsequent years saw 3–4 orders annually before ordering activity ceased. The most recent task order awarded August 12, 2021, was a server delivery to Business Enabled Acquisition And Technology, Inc. valued at $595,542.

Competition under the vehicle concentrated among two primes: Business Enabled Acquisition And Technology, Inc. (11 orders, $5.8 million combined potential value) and QED Systems, Inc. (11 orders, $2.9 million combined potential value). These firms split the awards evenly by count but Business Enabled captured approximately 67% of combined potential value. All 22 orders were unrestricted, non-set-aside awards.

The Defense Health Agency funded 17 orders valued at $7.6 million; the Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery funded 5 orders valued at $1.1 million. Task orders ranged from approximately $36,700 to $1.76 million, with typical firm-fixed-price deliveries spanning one to two years. Notable recurring procurements included server equipment, preventive maintenance contracts, and system installations at specific naval medical facilities including Okinawa, Camp Pendleton, San Diego, and Bremerton.

This is a requirement for the refresh of the dental digital imaging (DDI) solutions at Navy Dental Facilities and their branch clinics. Army and Air Force Dental Commands (and associated branch clinics) may also purchase DDI equipment and maintenance services off of a resultant contract. A DDI refresh is an integrated system of hardware and software. The DDI equipment refresh could include the replacement of Dell servers and computers workstations, barcode scanners CD/DVD publishing stations, x-ray sensors, and some intra-oral and extra oral dental x-ray machines.
