6520--Brand Name or Equal DENTAL EQUIPMENT

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 is seeking to procure brand name or equal dental equipment for the new Fredericksburg Health Care Center in Virginia. The solicitation requires 17 dental curing lights, 4 electric laboratory handpieces, 3 dental drill systems, 2 dental lathes, 1 dust collector, 1 vibrating mixer, 17 dental amalgamators, and 1 wet model trimmer. The contract will be awarded using a lowest-priced technically acceptable (LPTA) evaluation methodology, which means the vendor meeting all technical specifications at the lowest price will win the contract. Technical questions from potential vendors are due by February 17, 2025 at 4:00 PM EST, and complete quotes must be submitted electronically by February 18, 2025 at 11:00 AM EST. Vendors must be registered in SAM.gov and will be evaluated under NAICS code 339114 with a size standard of 750 employees.

The solicitation is an unrestricted competition with a HUBZone price evaluation preference, meaning small businesses in historically underutilized business zones might receive a slight advantage. The delivery timeline requires all equipment to be delivered between February 18, 2025 and March 17, 2025, with delivery terms set as FOB destination to the Fredericksburg Health Care Center located at 10432 Patriot Highway. While specific pricing details are currently marked as "TBD," the procurement encompasses a comprehensive set of dental equipment with specific manufacturer part numbers and detailed specifications. Payment terms are set at Net 30, and the contracting point of contact is Courtney Baker. The total quantity of equipment includes 44 total units across eight different equipment categories, representing a significant equipment procurement for the new healthcare facility.
