Sources Sought- Digital Dental Imaging (DDI) Systems

1.0 Purpose/Scope

The U.S. Navy Fleet has a requirement to install Digital Dental Imaging (DDI) Systems on six (6) U.S. Navy Ships in various locations throughout the world. DDI consists of servers and dental operatory computers loaded with the proprietary and U.S. Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery authorized Apteryx Software. Each ship requires the server and operatory computers loaded with U.S. Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery authorized Apteryx Software. This software and its site licenses are existing on current systems already aboard these Naval vessels. This requirement includes transferring existing data from the existing system to the new system. Additionally, the vendor will ensure the system

• Seamlessly acquires, views, prints, stores, and transfers images and data within the

ship;

• Provides a redundant system configuration for data integrity and minimize system

down time.

• Provide any refresher DDI training to the dental department staff
