6520--Dental Instruments for East Orange & Lyons VA Medical Centers

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 is seeking to procure approximately 100 different types of dental instruments and supplies for the East Orange and Lyons VA Medical Centers in New Jersey. The procurement specifically targets HuFriedy Group dental supplies including instrument cassettes, burnishers, explorers, curettes, pluggers, probes, mirrors, and various specialized dental tools, with the total procurement encompassing over 5,000 individual items designed to provide a 3-day supply of dental instruments to ensure continuity of patient care. The solicitation operates under NAICS code 339114 for Dental Equipment and Supplies Manufacturing and requires delivery within 30 days after receipt of order. Award will be based on a comparative evaluation in accordance with Simplified Acquisition Procedures, with the government selecting the quote most advantageous to their needs. The original submission deadline was extended from August 5, 2025, at 4:00 PM EST to August 11, 2025, at 9:00 AM EST following an amendment that corrected line items in the scope of work.

This procurement is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), with a small business size standard of 750 employees for the applicable NAICS category. While no specific incumbent contractor is mentioned in the documentation, the solicitation specifically references HuFriedy Group products, suggesting either brand-specific requirements or a continuation of existing supply arrangements. The procurement involves quantities ranging from 10 to 866 units per line item across approximately 105 different types of dental instruments and supplies. Performance will occur at two locations: the East Orange VA Medical Center at 385 Tremont Avenue, East Orange, NJ, and the Lyons VA Medical Center at 151 Knollcroft Road, with each medical center receiving identical instrument sets. The solicitation does not specify a total contract value, but given the scope and quantity of specialized dental instruments being procured, this represents a substantial procurement for maintaining dental treatment room operations at both VA facilities.
