Dental Digital Imaging Systems

The Dental Digital Imaging Systems Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle is designed to support the refresh and procurement of integrated digital dental imaging (DDI) solutions for military dental facilities across the United States. The contract covers the acquisition of comprehensive dental digital imaging equipment, including hardware and software systems such as Dell servers, computer workstations, barcode scanners, CD/DVD publishing stations, x-ray sensors, and various intra-oral and extra-oral dental x-ray machines. The contract enables the Department of the Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, along with Army and Air Force Dental Commands, to standardize and modernize their digital dental imaging infrastructure through a flexible, multiple-award contract mechanism.

Task orders under this IDIQ consistently demonstrate a focus on procuring dental imaging systems and related IT infrastructure, with contract values ranging from approximately $52,000 to nearly $1.8 million and typical performance periods of 2-5 years. Two primary prime contractors, Business Enabled Acquisition and Technology, Inc. (BEAT) and QED Systems, Inc., have been the predominant awardees, both being small businesses with significant experience in federal healthcare IT solutions. The Defense Health Agency is the primary funding agency, with most task orders not utilizing specific set-aside designations. Frequent places of performance include military installations in Virginia Beach, San Antonio, Camp Pendleton, and international locations like Japan. Subcontractors such as Apteryx, LLC and M2 Technology, Inc. frequently support these task orders by providing specialized software, dental practice management solutions, and computer equipment.
