PROGRAM BACKGROUND

NGDE's ability to provide ready forces to Combatant Commanders and a capability to the Governor for Defense Support of Civil Authorities is predicated upon the readiness of our Soldiers. Dental Readiness Classification (DRC) is a basic principle of force-sustainment for NGDE forces. Specifically, DRC sustainability is a vital element for comprehensive force health protection and failure to achieve optimum dental health could preclude a Soldier from deploying and threatens homeland defense capabilities. Dental readiness is a command responsibility and is primary focus in the NGDE. The NGDE has been procuring Dental Examination and Restorative services over the years.

REQUIRED CAPABILITIES

The contractor shall conduct and complete the requirements of DRC on all eligible Soldiers in the NGDE (or mobilizing with a NGDE unit) utilizing a HIPAA, Privacy Act, and OSHA-Compliant portable dental facility for the NGDE.

Contractor shall demonstrate ability to perform these services, assess and treat the Soldier efficiently, as well as provide individual case management of Soldiers, schedule dental appointments for Soldiers (at selected dental facilities throughout Delaware for Class 3b and Class 3c Soldiers) and provide individual consultation by a dentist, should a Soldier desire. These services will provide dental treatments necessary to meet Department of the Army standards of readiness and deploy ability (Class 2) with the oversight and ultimate approval authority by the NGDE State Dental Surgeon, State Surgeon, and Deputy State Surgeon.
