About this file
This is an Amendment containing Questions and Answers for RFQ-25-PHX-015, a solicitation for a Five-Year Blanket Purchase Agreement for dental supplies for Indian Health Service Phoenix Area dental clinics. The amendment addresses three key questions: 1) confirming that "equal" products to Henry Schein Dental Supplies will be accepted, 2) clarifying that over 90% of products are expected to be purchased through one contractor who must add new items to meet this threshold, and 3) specifying that offerors must provide their own online ordering website system with account setup, ordering process and return policies.
The related solicitation is a small business set-aside for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises under NAICS 339114 for dental and pharmaceutical supplies across 41 approved dental product categories, to be delivered to nine IHS service locations in AZ, CA, NV and UT. Proposals are due February 14, 2025 at 4:00 PM MST, with a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) evaluation approach examining technical capability, past performance, and price. The contract will include a base year plus four option years with FOB destination shipping included in unit prices.

Amendment-1, Answers to Questions
1. Will you accept "equal" products to the listed items? If so, how should we designate an "equal" item through the bid schedule? If not, may I ask the reason for not allowing equivalent products?
We have changed the RFQ-25-PHX-015 to Brand Name or Equal Henry Schein Dental Supplies, see Attachment Amend-1 RFQ-25-PHX-015.
2. I read that you expect over 90% of the items to be awarded to one company, how will the +-10% of other items be awarded?
This statement changed to “We expect that the majority (Over 90%) of the products under this BPA will be purchased through one Contractor and we expect the Contractor to add the new items into the Price Schedule to meet the 90%”, see Attachment Amend-1 B Scope of Work.
3. Does the government need the Indian-owned firm to supply their own ordering website or do you want to order through a large company's website and utilize the winning vendors account on the large company's site?
You will need to provide this information for Factor -1 Technical, Sub-Factor B: Offeror shall provide On-Line Web-Site Ordering System from their distributor to include process for account set-up, ordering process, and return policies.
