NAVAL MEDICAL LOGISTICS COMMAND

NOTICE OF INTENT

The Naval Medical Logistics Command (NMLC) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis (IAW FAR 13.501(a)) Sole source (including brand name) acquisitions. The proposed source is Imagine Milling Technologies, 14225 Sullyfield Cir, Chantilly VA 20151. The requiring activity is the Naval Postgraduate Dental School, Naval Medical Center San Diego (Area Dental Lab), and Norfolk Area Dental Laboratory. The proposed acquisition is for a dental prosthesis computer-aided design/manufacturing systems.

The system shall include a dental prosthesis computer-aided design/manufacturing (CAD/CAM) unit. The system shall include a dental contact scanner and a dental light scanner. The contact scanner shall be able to capture positional data and angulation data for dental implants. The contact scanner shall have an accuracy of at least 20 microns. The contact scanner shall be capable of scanning for multi-unit implant frameworks. The system shall include a scanner that can simultaneously scan upper arch, lower arch and die. The light scanner shall be able to quickly scan multi-unit implant frameworks and create 3-dimensional digital images. The light scanner shall also be capable of impression scanning. The light scanner shall be able to scan full size articulators. The light scanner shall use calibrated articulator scanning. The light scanner shall utilize a static scan table that does not require rotation or inversion, yet allow for cast removal during the scan process without disrupting the scan workflow.

The system shall include CAD software capable of collecting data from the contact and light scanners. The software shall be able to integrate the data sets from the contact and light scanners into one digital implant model.

The system shall include dental implant milling units. The milling units shall be capable of dry and wet milling. The milling units shall be capable of milling via 5 axes. The milling units shall be able to mill all dental implant materials, including titanium, cobalt chromium (CoCr), zirconium oxide, aluminum oxide, glass ceramics, Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and resins. The system shall include milling units that are capable of milling IPS e.max restorations, specifically up to 48 restorations in single production cycle. The milling units shall be capable of automatically switching diamond and carbide milling tools for up to 32 tools. The milling units shall utilize collet chucks to hold the milling tools. The milling unit shall be able to wet mill glass ceramics, titanium and CoCr. The milling unit shall include a starter set of milling tools. The system shall include one (1) dental milling unit that has the capability of modulating the interior performance temperature based on the outside ambient temperature of the dental lab. The milling units shall be compatible with the existing CAM milling strategies utilized at the Naval Area Dental Laboratories.

The system shall include an open source solution that allows for data to be transmitted between all subcomponents. The system shall include all necessary software for transferring images from acquisition scanning units to the milling units. The system software shall allow for output of implant interfaces in designed restorations. The system shall be able to provide and apply manufacturing protocols for dental implants including crowns, bridges, copings, abutments, abutment bars, inlays and onlays. The system shall have a preloaded template library of common dental implants connections including, but not limited to: standard and external hex; 3.25mm, 3.4mm, 4.1mm, 4.3mm, 5.0mm,and 6.0mm; engaging and non-engaging.

The system shall be capable of designing and manufacturing multiple-implant prostheses. The system shall be capable of manufacturing multiple-implant prostheses with a tolerance no more than 20 microns. These tolerances must be acceptable for the 20 different implant connections utilized by the government.

The requirement includes three-dimensional dental printers for producing dental models. The printers shall be able to produce orthodontic models, partials, surgical guides, and bite guards. The printers shall be able to utilize build plates ranging from 3.75” x 3.75” x 2” to 10.5” x 6.5” x 3”. The printers shall be able to produce models of the entire array of teeth (jaw). The printers shall be able to produce models that include analog implant insertions. The printers shall print at a resolution of at least 50 µm.

The requirement includes installation, calibration, and on-site training.

The equipment shall be compliant with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirements to market and deliver medical products for use in the United States of America, even should delivery be requested outside of the United States. The claims made for the product shall comply with the regulations of the FDA with respect to products for marketing and delivery of a medical product for use in the United States of America, even should delivery be requested outside of the United States. The equipment shall be installed in compliance with OSHA requirements.

Vendor shall be an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) authorized dealer, authorized distributor or authorized reseller for the proposed equipment/system such that OEM warranty and service are provided and maintained by the OEM. All software licensing, warranty and service associated with the equipment/system shall be in accordance with the OEM terms and conditions.

Based on the above information, the only technically acceptable system is provided by Imagine Milling Technologies.

This acquisition is being conducted under FAR Part 12 and 13. Provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-89 are incorporated. This acquisition is being conducted under simplified acquisition procedures. There are no set-aside restrictions for this requirement. The intended procurement will be classified under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 339116 with a Small Business Size Standard of 500 employees. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document exists for this requirement. Sources interested in responding to this notice are required to submit a capability statement that includes technical data in sufficient detail and with convincing evidence that clearly demonstrates the capability in providing the same product. Capability statements shall not exceed 5 (8.5 x 11 inch) pages using a font size no smaller than 10-point. All capability statements received by the due date of this notice will be considered by the Government. A request for documentation or additional information or submissions that only ask questions will not be considered as an affirmative response. A determination by the Government not to compete based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement or to proceed with a sole source purchase order.

If a vendor challenges the basis of this requirement, please email product capability statements (formats for submission: PDF, MS Word, or MS Excel) to Andrew Hampton at andrew.a.hampton3.civ@mail.mil. Closing date for challenges is no later than 3:00 PM. ET on 19 Aug 2016. No phone calls will be accepted.
