ADA - JA Other Than Full and Open Competition_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the federal contract opportunity to procure the American Dental Association (ADA) Year End 2022 Dentist Master File.

The purpose of this requirement is to obtain the ADA Dentist Master File, which is the only comprehensive source of information on dentists that combines current data on locations and practices. As the major membership organization for dentists, the ADA is the sole proprietor of this data and the only source to obtain it. The Master File is needed by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), a civilian agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, to estimate current health occupational supply and track workforce trends over time.

This justification explains that the ADA Dentist Master File is a unique data source that only the ADA can provide, and therefore this procurement will be awarded on an other than full and open competition basis. No further details on response dates, pricing, or set asides are included in this document.
