Acquisition Plan Action ID:__36C241-25-AP-3661__________

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 01, Manchester

Medical Center

2237: 608-25-3-7077-0020

2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:

Radiographic Dental Cone Beam 3-D Imaging Unit

The 3D Imaging Unit provides detailed, three-dimensional images of a patient's dental structures, soft tissues, nerve paths, and bone in a single scan. This advanced imaging technology aids in the accurate diagnosis and treatment planning for various dental and craniofacial conditions, enhancing patient care and outcomes.

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:

The Manchester VA Dental Clinic has identified the Carestream CS 9600 Radiographic Dental Cone Beam 3D Imaging Unit as the only brand that meets its specific needs.

The CS 9600 offers unique features such as an integrated, removable seat that enhances patient stability and safety, and an automated repositioning capability that streamlines repeat visits. Additionally, its widespread use within VA and DoD facilities enables standardization of equipment and protocols, promoting efficiency and compatibility across the network. After a detailed comparison with other manufacturers, including input from other VA facilities, the CS 9600 was found to be unrivaled in meeting these requirements and no other branded units were able to accommodate Veterans with adjustable seating which is required for patients with disabilities.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:

The Contract Specialist was able to locate 3 vendors who could supply the required dental equipment; Carestream Dental (LB), Dove Medical Supply LLC (WOSB), and Contemporary Product Solutions (SDVOSB). Dove Medical and Contemporary Product Solutions are authorized resellers of Carestream Dental. With this requirement being brand name only, the Contract Specialist recommends soliciting the requirement as 100% SB set-aside for brand name or equal items. The NMR rule suggest 100% SB set-aside as no waiver exists for NAICS 339113 for dental equipment.

5. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with

FAR13.106-1(b). I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
