6520--Notice of Intent to Sole Source - 36C249-23-AP-2314 - Periolase Laser

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 09, hereby provides notice of its intent to award a brand name only sole source, firm-fixed price contract for the equipment and supplies listed below to a small business, Millennium Dental Technologies, Inc., 10945 South Street Suite #104-A, Cerritos, California 90703-5358. The contract is expected to be awarded under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 13.106-1(b) Soliciting from a Single Source. A Justification for Single Source Awards for Other Than Full and Open Competition has been prepared. The anticipated award date is June 1, 2023.

The contractor will provide the equipment and supplies listed below to the James H. Quillen VA Medical Center (JHQVAMC), located in Mountain Home, Tennessee.

The need for this equipment supports JHQVAMC s goal to bring laser-assisted new attachment procedure (LANAP) protocol to the dental service and eliminate the current need to outsource this service. JHQVAMC has a trained and certified LANAP Protocol periodontist on staff, and only needs the proper equipment to begin performing the LANAP protocol inhouse, which will bring significant cost savings to the Government.

Market research identified the Periolase MVP-7 laser from Millennium Dental Technologies is the only Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved device for the LANAP protocol for true periodontal regeneration of the attachment apparatus (new cementum, new periodontal ligament, and new alveolar bone) on a previously diseased FboNotice surface.- FDA 510(k) notice 151763. The Periolase was designed to deliver laser energy within the specific therapeutic parameters necessary to correctly perform the LANAP Protocol. No other laser has been certified to perform the LANAP Protocol. The following items will be procured:
