Endodontic Services for SDC clients #SN169009

The California Department of Developmental Services, specifically the Sonoma Developmental Center located in Sonoma County, is soliciting bids for endodontic services through Invitation for Bid #SN169009. The procurement seeks a qualified dental contractor to provide comprehensive endodontic treatments for center clients, including root canal therapy, root canal retreatment, apicoectomy, hemisections, post and core build-ups, extractions, composite fillings, biopsies, occlusal adjustments, and consultations. Services will be performed either at the Sonoma Developmental Center Dental Office or the contractor's office, with appointments pre-arranged through the Project Representative. The bid submission deadline is May 24, 2016 at 2:00 p.m., with bid opening on the same day and a proposed award date of May 30, 2016. The contract term is structured from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2018, with the effective date being either July 1, 2016 or the Department of General Services approval date, whichever occurs later. Evaluation will focus on the lowest responsive responsible bidder who meets all qualification requirements, including proper licensing for the specified dental services.

The solicitation includes a 5% bid preference for small businesses and offers DVBE (Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise) incentives, although mandatory DVBE participation goals have been waived for this contract. The bid pricing structure requires unit-based rates for specific services, including consultations, composite fills, root canals, and prefab post and core procedures, with an additional $10,000 allocated for miscellaneous endodontic services. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the contract structure suggests a potential annual value around $20,000 to $40,000 depending on service utilization. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and there are no explicit restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond beyond standard licensing and professional qualifications for dental service providers. Potential bidders must demonstrate the capability to provide comprehensive endodontic services and comply with all state and local regulatory requirements for dental professionals.
