Dental Laboratories

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 339116 for Dental Laboratories encompasses businesses that specialize in manufacturing custom dental prosthetics, including dentures, crowns, bridges, implants, and other dental appliances. These laboratories provide critical services to healthcare providers by fabricating precision dental devices based on detailed prescriptions and patient-specific measurements. The work involves advanced technical processes including designing, molding, casting, and finishing dental prosthetic components using specialized materials and equipment.

Federal contract awards in this NAICS category predominantly involve the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Indian Health Service (IHS), and the Bureau of Prisons, with contract values ranging from a few thousand to over $1 million. Frequently awarded entities include Burbank Dental Laboratory, Keating Dental Arts, and Idoc Dental Lab, which hold multiple indefinite delivery vehicles (IDVs) across federal agencies. Most awards are firm fixed-price delivery orders or purchase orders with performance periods typically spanning one year, often with four additional option years. While many contracts are not set aside, a notable portion are designated for small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, and woman-owned small businesses. Performance locations are distributed across VA medical centers, federal correctional institutions, and tribal health centers nationwide.

Recent federal contract opportunities focus on comprehensive dental laboratory services for government healthcare systems, particularly for the VA and IHS. These opportunities request contractors capable of fabricating various dental prosthetics, including removable and fixed prostheses, crowns, bridges, and specialized appliances like sleep apnea devices. Most solicitations require same-day or rapid turnaround times, strict quality control, compliance with FDA standards, and certification from the National Association of Dental Laboratories. Geographical performance locations include VA medical centers in Washington, Pennsylvania, California, and tribal health centers in Virginia, with contract periods typically spanning five years and set-asides predominantly targeting small businesses.
