About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration (VA) at the Pittsburgh Healthcare System is seeking to procure two PrograMill PM7 System dental milling machines or equivalent equipment for their dental clinic. The acquisition is part of a strategic initiative to transition from artisan-dependent to computer-aided prosthesis fabrication, with the goal of maintaining treatment capacity. The machines must be compatible with 3Shape Complete Restorative digital dental software and capable of milling Ivoclar e.max ceramic materials and ZirCAD Prime Zirconia. Key requirements include an 8-disc automatic material changer, 20-tool automatic tool changer, and a color touchscreen interface. The pre-solicitation notice indicates a response deadline of December 18, 2024, with the procurement falling under NAICS code 339114 and PSC 6520 for dental equipment and supplies.
The procurement does not have a specific set-aside designation and will be open to all qualified vendors. The total quantity of equipment is two PrograMill PM7 Systems, which will include base sets, PCs, widescreen monitors, keyboards, and RFID readers. Installation, training, and delivery to the Pittsburgh VA facility are included in the purchase price, with the vendor required to complete a site check and coordinate delivery with the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR). The equipment will be used for producing a wide range of dental products including veneers, crowns, bridges, dentures, and splints. While the exact award value is not specified, the procurement represents a significant investment in modernizing the VA dental clinic's technological capabilities, with a clear emphasis on maintaining and potentially expanding treatment capacity through advanced digital manufacturing techniques.

STATEMENT OF NEED IVOCLAR PROGRAMILL PM7
BRAND NAME OR EQUAL
Background
The Pittsburgh VAMC Dental Clinic requires two new PrograMill PM7 System, PrograMill Base Set, PrograMill PC, Widescreen Monitor, keyboard, and PrograMIll RFID-Reader brand name or equal dental milling machines and accessories. These systems are an indispensable part of a time-sensitive transition from artisan-dependent prosthesis fabrication to computer-aided prosthesis fabrication within the dental clinic and implementation of this transition within the next year will be necessary to avoid major reductions in treatment capacity
Project Scope
The Pittsburgh VA is transitioning from artisan-dependent prosthesis fabrication to computer-aided prosthesis fabrication within the Dental Clinic and implementation of this transition within the end of the year will be necessary to avoid major reductions in treatment capacity. The PrograMill PM7 or an equal milling machine has to be compatible with the 3Shape Complete Restorative digital dental software that Pittsburgh is using to keep this service in-house.
The PrograMill s front panel has a visual user interface. Pittsburgh s Dental Clinic uses e.max ceramic that Ivoclar manufcatures, and only a handful of mills are certified by Ivoclar to machine this material. Our in-house dental lab stocks Ivoclar s Ivocolor and e.max Ceram, which are supplemental Ivoclar ceramic materials used to color and add to Ivoclar ceramics. The Dental Clinic intends on milling ceramics made by Ivoclar such as ZirCAD Prime Zirconia, the use of the PM7 mill along with the pre-existing and planned Ivoclar ceramic products ensures that we are using compatible materials. This enables them to get meaningful support from Ivoclar if there is an issue in the chain of materials.
