1. SCOPE OF WORK:

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Non-Expendable Equipment National Program has identified the Dental Milling/Drilling Machines product line as a candidate for a VA-wide (otherwise referred to as national ) single Requirements contract award. Dental Milling/Drilling Machines are designed for use in working materials into a desired form by performing mechanical operations such as milling, drilling, grinding and/or cutting. These machines usually consist of a rotating assembly (also known as spindle) that includes a shaft, bearings and associated detachable drilling or cutting devices (e.g., drill bits, saws) and a support for the piece that is being conformed. Dental Milling/Drilling Machines hold the piece under work stationary as the drill moves axially to penetrate the material as well as moving the piece under work radially and/or laterally against the rotating spindle. Both the piece and spindle movements are precisely digitally controlled using computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) methods. Dental Milling/Drilling Machines may be used for a variety of applications including chair side, in on-site dental and off-site dental labs.

The Contractor must demonstrate the ability to meet all requirements for the solicitation. The objective is to provide Dental Milling/Drilling Machines to be used by clinicians throughout the VA medical centers and facilities. The period of performance is for one (1) 12-month base period with two (2) twelve (12) month option periods.
