6520 - Schick 33 Sensors and Starter Kits

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 4, Network Contracting Office 4, is soliciting offers for Schick 33 dental X-ray sensors and starter kits to support the Lebanon VA Medical Center in Pennsylvania. This brand-name only procurement seeks three different sensor starter kit models (S0, S1, and S2) that must be compatible with the medical center's existing Sirona dental equipment infrastructure. A critical requirement is that all offerors must provide a Letter of Authorization from the Original Equipment Manufacturer confirming their authority to distribute or resell the Schick 33 sensors; failure to include this documentation will result in immediate elimination of the offer. Evaluation will be based on price and past performance. Quotations are due by April 9, 2026, at 4:30 p.m. EDT, with all inquiries or questions to be submitted in writing to Contract Specialist Nathan Lohr at nathan.lohr@va.gov by the deadline.

This solicitation has no set-aside designation and is unrestricted, allowing all qualified vendors to compete. The procurement calls for three units of the Schick 33/3.0 S0 Sensor Starter Kit, one unit of the S2 model, and one unit of the S1 model, with pricing required to include both shipping and installation services. Market research confirmed that no other authorized distributors exist for these sensors, supporting the justification for this brand-name acquisition. Award is effective as of April 2, 2026, with delivery required within 30 days of award to Lebanon VA Medical Center at 1700 South Lincoln Avenue, Lebanon, Pennsylvania. The estimated dollar value of the contract has been redacted in the solicitation documents, though the acquisition exceeds the micro-purchase threshold but remains below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.
