| RFQ 20342326Q00002 Denture Laboratory Services Q and A | ||
| Question | Answer | |
| 1 | The solicitation is titled Denture Laboratory Services but looking through the Pricing sheet there are |
multiple lines that indicate crown and bridge specialties, are these the actual services that are needed or
| is this a boilerplate list? and if so, how would these receive a price quote? | We need a full service Dental Laboratory 1. Fixed (crowns made of Porcelain full, Porcelain infused metal ie. Precious metal / non-precious metal / semi precious and complete cast) 2. removable Dentures and paritals. | |
| 2 | The list requires Ticonium frameworks. The solicitation also says the frame must be beryllium and |
nickel free. The two issues are ticonium has beryllium and ticonium is no longer made. What metal would
| be required? | use Cobalt-Chromiun | |
| 3 | The price list also requires targis /vectris from Ivoclar and this material is no longer made. Is this | |
| something that is required? Or something that is asked for from past solicitations? | no targis / no vectris | |
| 4 | Are captek crowns also still needed, as most crowns are now zirconia? but if this is only for | |
| denture/removable cases then this would be irrelevant. | no captek crowns, only full cast complete crowns either yellow gold or white gold. | |
| 5 | If I read the evaluation process correctly, Price is the determining factor above all else. The evaluation |
process will evaluate lowest price and if is "acceptable" then other proposals will not be evaluated. Is this
| correct? | That is correct. | ||
| 6 | We are to price an abutment, but there are not items for implant crowns to go with those abutments. They are not the same as a standard crown over a natural tooth. Please provide implant crown items, if necessary | no abutment pricing required | |
| 7 | I do not see separate pricing for a pontic as a pontic requires more alloy? If required, can you please provide line items for the crowns with alloy. | we do not work with this no pricing required | |
| 8 | In an effort to provide the lowest price, would you consider 2nd Day shipping instead of the premium shipping of Net Day Air? | yes | |
