Dental Hygiene Chairs

This pre-solicitation notice involves the procurement of eight dental hygiene chairs by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 for the Valley Coastal Bend VAMC in Harlingen, Texas. The comprehensive dental equipment package includes dental hygiene chairs with traditional delivery systems, 12 o'clock assistant instrumentation, LED dental lights, monitor mounts, doctor's and assistant stools, and associated accessories. The VA conducted market research to identify qualified vendors under NAICS code 339114 (Dental Equipment and Supplies Manufacturing) and required interested parties to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). Vendors were required to provide proof of country of origin for manufactured items and submit capability responses by June 27, 2025, at 2:00 PM CST to Tammy.Wilson5@va.gov. However, the solicitation has been cancelled as of September 9, 2025, because the requirement is no longer needed, as indicated in Amendment 0004.

The original sources sought notice indicated potential set-asides for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), or small businesses, though no specific set-aside designation was ultimately applied. The procurement included trade-in options for existing dental equipment across eight different rooms at the facility. The successful vendor would have been responsible for professional installation, training, and providing an extensive warranty covering parts for 5 years on dental chairs, stools, lights, delivery systems, and monitor mounts, with 1 year coverage for clinical products. No award values, budget ranges, or incumbent contractors were specified in the available documentation. The procurement was classified under PSC category 6520 for Dental Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies, but the entire solicitation was terminated without award due to the cancellation.
