The purpose of this Amendment is to provide answers to questions submitted related. to Solicitation number 36C25726Q0683

1. CLIN 0011 requires one PrimePrint On-Site Training session, but SOW section 2.11 states that training is not required Is CLIN 0011 required? If so, please confirm the required duration, number of attendees, and scope.

Answer- Yes. On-site training is required. The requirement is for one initial training event following installation and commissioning. It may be provided as one full-day session or two half-day sessions for approximately 15–20 new and exist Dental staff members. Recurring training is not needed or included under the current purchase unless separately ordered or authorized.

2. Please provide the “PrimePrint Solution Contents Tab” and the dental floor plans referenced in the SOW but not included among the posted solicitation files.

//SEE CONTINUATION PAGE 2//

Rafael Rodriguez Contract Specialist

Answer: The referenced PrimePrint Solution Contents Tab and dental floor plan were inadvertently omitted from the solicitation package.

The Dentsply Sirona quote identifies item 100008874 as “PrimePrint Solution — See PP Solution Contents Tab,” but the PDF does not contain that tab. The SOW also states that scaled dental floor plans are attached, but no floor plan is embedded in or attached to the SOW currently available to Dental.

a. The current, itemized PrimePrint Solution Contents Tab for item 100008874 from Dentsply Sirona; and

b. The correct scaled floor plan sketch is attached to this email.

Both documents should then be provided to all offerors through a solicitation amendment.

The installation room number must also be updated to 2E-116.

Question Number 3-The SOW states “brand name or equal,” while the evaluation section states that alternate quotations will not be accepted. Are equal products allowed? If so, please provide the complete salient characteristics that apply.

Answer: Brand Name or Equal-the equipment must be fully compatible and interoperable with the VA’s existing Dentsply Sirona digital dentistry environment, including Primescan, inLab, Primemill, SpeedFire, associated software, proprietary workflows, consumables, and staff training.

Substituting another manufacturer’s equipment could create software and hardware compatibility problems, additional validation requirements, workflow disruption, additional training requirements, and loss of continuity with the existing system.

4. Must the prime offeror itself be an authorized Dentsply Sirona dealer, or may the prime furnish equipment purchased through an authorized distributor with complete OEM traceability and manufacturer warranty documentation?

Answer: Authorized distributor or reseller documentation applies when an offer is submitted by a dealer or reseller. If Dentsply Sirona submits directly as the original equipment manufacturer, reseller authorization would not be applicable. The offeror should instead identify and document its status as the original manufacturer.

5. Is October 15, 2026 the mandatory delivery deadline, given that the SOW’s outfitting schedule shows “TBD” and permits construction-related schedule changes?

Answer: October 15, 2026 is the target delivery date. A later delivery date may be considered only with advance written coordination and approval from the VA and Contracting Officer. Any extension should not exceed 30 calendar days beyond the target delivery date.

6. Please confirm whether a site visit is optional. We did not find a mandatory site-visit date or attendance requirement in the posted documents.

Answer: However, each offeror remains responsible for verifying all conditions necessary to provide a complete and accurate quotation and successfully deliver and install the equipment. This includes delivery access, doorway and hallway clearances, room dimensions, electrical and utility requirements, network requirements, pre-installation requirements, and equipment placement.
