Dental Chairs, Dental Delivery Systems, and LED Operatory Lights

The Missouri Department of Corrections is seeking competitive bids for dental equipment for the Algoa Correctional Center, specifically soliciting two dental chairs, two dental delivery systems, and two LED operatory lights. The procurement, identified by IFB931Y18709243, requires vendors to provide equipment meeting precise technical specifications, with preferred models being Pelton & Crane (Model 1702 dental chairs, Spirit 1505 Series delivery units, and Helios 1800 LED lights), though alternative equivalent products will be considered. The bid period runs from April 12, 2018, to April 23, 2018, with bids due by 3:00 PM CDT, and the contract requires complete installation, including deinstallation and disposal of existing equipment, by June 21, 2018. Vendors must submit bids electronically through the MissouriBUYS system or via sealed hard copy to the Department of Corrections Purchasing Section. Optional site inspections can be arranged by contacting the Business Manager, with attendance limited to two representatives per vendor. The equipment must feature specific technical requirements, such as 60-degree rotation for dental chairs, three automatic handpiece controls for delivery units, and shadow-free illumination for LED lights.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation were mentioned in the solicitation documents. The procurement appears open to all vendors registered in the MissouriBUYS system, with no indications of preferences for disadvantaged enterprises or small businesses. No incumbent vendor information was provided, and there were no explicit details about existing infrastructure requiring integration. The project will be funded through FY18 funds, with payment terms set at Net 30 days and delivery specified as Free On Board Destination. While the total estimated contract value was not disclosed, the solicitation indicates the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Invoicing, which must include prevailing wage documentation, is required no later than June 22, 2018. Vendors are expected to provide comprehensive pricing for the dental equipment and associated installation services, with the understanding that the contract must be fully executed by the specified deadlines.
