IHS Dental Services 2010-2015

The Indian Health Service awarded this Master IDIQ for dental services on October 1, 2010, and ordering closed on December 31, 2015—the vehicle is no longer active and has been closed for over a decade.

The vehicle is not worth pursuing. Ordering expired in 2015, and all 23 task orders and their $1.1 million combined potential value have been fully obligated. The most recent task order was awarded in May 2015. Activity declined sharply in the final year, with only two orders placed in 2015 compared to four to five per year during 2011–2013.

The dental services contracted included pediatric services, general dentistry, and periodontal work delivered primarily at Sells Dental Clinic and San Xavier facilities in Arizona. Task orders were structured as firm-fixed-price delivery orders with individual ceilings typically ranging from $16,600 to $100,000. The single customer—Indian Health Service—placed all 23 orders.

Competition was concentrated among three individual dental practitioners. Dall E. Weech, D D S , M S D , P.C. captured 15 of 23 orders and $862 thousand in combined potential value. Allen R. Bond, D.d.s., Prof.l.l.c. held 5 orders worth $126 thousand, and Miles Krystal DDS MS held 3 orders worth $102 thousand. All task orders were awarded without set-aside designation, and pricing was consistently firm fixed price.

The vehicle supported Indian Health Service clinic operations in southern Arizona, with work performed at tribal health facilities in Sells and San Xavier.
