This is a Sources Sought Synopsis to conduct market research for developing procurement strategy for a - Base Plus Four (4) - Contract for Dental Waterline Testing at the following location:

Spokane, WA 99224

Description of Services: One Firm Fixed Price contract will be awarded for the Mann-Grandstaff VA Dental Clinic for a contractor to provide Dental Water Testing Services. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the service herein.

Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the contractor, who in turn is responsible to the Government.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), American Public Health Association and the American Water Works Association have defined the standard for US potable water – not to exceed 500 colony-forming units (cfu) per milliliter of water. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Dental Association (ADA) have recommended dental unit water line (DUWL) deliver water should meet the U.S. potable water standard – not to exceed 500 cfu/ml of water. Dental services are required to routinely test the water coming out of the DUWLs to meet this standard and have an action plan to meet this standard that addresses any DUWL that falls out of compliance.

The Mann-Grandstaff VA Dental Clinic is required to test 52 waterlines (4 per dental operatory x 13 operatories). Testing shall be quarterly (Oct-Nov-Dec, Jan-Feb-Mar, Apr-May-Jun, Jul-Aug-Sep).

Additionally, waterlines that test above the standard must be re-tested until the standard has been met.

Specific Tasks:

Task 1 – Prepare/package/deliver 52 testing bottles and associated paperwork to the Mann-Grandstaff VA Dental Clinic when requested by Dental POC or designee.

Task 2 – Pick-up or provide shipping labels for 52 testing bottles and associated paperwork from the Mann-Grandstaff VA Dental Clinic once requested by dental POC or designee and test within 24 hours of water samples being obtained to prevent degradation of the sample. Testing will not be conducted on Friday, Saturdays, or Sundays.

Task 3 – Run testing protocols on 52 water samples per standard operating procedure and VA Infection Control protocol.

Task 4 – Compile water testing results and submit the final report (via email) to the designated Staff Dentist within 7 days.
