1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 12, Jesse Brown VA Medical Center

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

Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center is requesting (2) Medit T710 Scanner System and related

accessories for proper patient care and increased productivity when creating dental protheses. The

quoted amount per scanner with its accessories is **REDACTED**

the department for speeding up workflow and increasing productivity. Some manufacturers have

handheld scanners and are not wireless, which does not meet our requirements. This scanner is

Therefore, Medit is the only manufacturer that fits the needs of the Milwaukee VAMC.

will be a more appropriate fit the government s needs than some similar, stationary scanners. The
