Dental Hygiene Chairs

The Department of Veterans Affairs South Texas Veterans Health Care System is seeking to procure 8 dental hygiene chairs and related equipment for the Corpus Christi VA Dental Clinic through solicitation 36C25725Q0680. The procurement includes comprehensive dental equipment specifications such as Traditional Delivery Systems, LED dental lights, monitor mounts, doctor's and assistant's stools, along with professional installation services, training, and a 5-year warranty. Key requirements include a minimum 60-day delivery timeline from award, specific instrumentation mounting configurations, and restrictions on wood pallet transportation during business hours. The government will evaluate proposals based on technical capability (with preference given to US-made products) and price, listed in descending order of importance, using a comparative evaluation process for a single Firm Fixed Price contract award. Critical dates include the mandatory site visit held on August 8, 2025, vendor questions due by August 13, 2025 at 11:00 AM CST, and final quotes due by August 21, 2025 at 2:00 PM CST.

Originally designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, the solicitation was modified through Amendment 0004 on August 18, 2025, changing from restricted to unrestricted status, opening the competition to all eligible contractors. The procurement involves acquiring exactly 8 dental hygiene chairs along with comprehensive ancillary equipment and includes trade-in options for existing dental equipment from multiple clinic rooms that will be deinstalled and moved to the clinic's warehouse. Equipment delivery and installation will occur at 5283 Old Brownsville Road, Corpus Christi, Texas 78405, with the mandatory site visit conducted at 205 S Enterprise Parkway in Corpus Christi. The contract structure contemplates a Firm-Fixed-Price award with specific technical requirements including 12 O'clock Assistants Instrumentation mounted adjacent to cabinets and round work surfaces with minimum 22-inch diameters. While no specific contract value is disclosed in the available documentation, the comprehensive nature of the equipment package, installation requirements, and 5-year warranty suggest a substantial procurement investment for the VA dental facility.
