6520--handpieces for FX HCC dental clinic

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 6, is seeking quotes for turbine handpieces for the Fredericksburg HCC Dental Clinic located in Fredericksburg, Virginia. This procurement falls under NAICS code 339114 for Dental Equipment and Supplies Manufacturing and will result in a single fixed-price contract award. The solicitation will be conducted under FAR Part 13 Procedures, requiring all prospective contractors to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database with the applicable NAICS code included in their profile prior to quotation submission. The tentative solicitation date is September 12, 2025, with quotes due by 10:00 AM Eastern Time on September 14, 2025. The actual solicitation document will be made available through sam.gov, and telephonic requests for solicitation materials will not be honored. The primary point of contact for this procurement is Audrey Wooten at audrey.wooten@va.gov from the VA Network Contracting Office in Hampton, Virginia.

This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under FAR Part 13 Procedures, limiting competition to small businesses that meet the size standard of 750 employees or fewer for NAICS code 339114. The place of performance is specified as Richmond VAMC at 1201 Board Rock Boulevard, Richmond, VA 23249, though the handpieces are intended for the Fredericksburg dental clinic. No incumbent contractors or potential award values are mentioned in the pre-solicitation notice. The procurement appears to be for standard dental equipment replacement or upgrade purposes, though specific quantities of handpieces required are not disclosed in the available documentation. The extremely short timeframe between solicitation and closing dates suggests this may be an urgent operational requirement for the dental clinic's continued operations.
