Montgomery Community College is seeking equipment for a new Dental Hygiene Program through a Request for Quote (RFQ) numbered MCC-NR250414, issued on April 15, 2025, with quotes due by May 5, 2025. The procurement encompasses a comprehensive set of dental equipment and supplies for classroom and clinical instruction to meet CODA (Commission on Dental Accreditation) regulations. The solicitation includes 40 line items across multiple dental technology categories, specifically requesting 10 dental chairs, 10 LED lights, 10 delivery systems, doctor stools, x-ray systems, sterilization equipment, and various dental instruments and accessories. Vendors must provide free on-board (FOB) destination delivery to Montgomery Community College in Troy, NC, with a mandatory 30-consecutive calendar day delivery timeline after purchase order receipt. The evaluation process will focus on the lowest responsive quote that meets all specified technical requirements, with the program targeting a Fall 2025 implementation. Vendors are required to complete detailed attachments including pricing forms, worker location information, and supplemental vendor documentation.

The solicitation encourages participation by Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) and includes sustainability considerations in the procurement process. A 1.75% transaction fee will be applied to purchases made through the state's e-procurement service, and vendors must comply with North Carolina state and potentially federal contracting regulations. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the equipment procurement suggests a significant investment in establishing the new dental hygiene program. The procurement follows North Carolina state purchasing regulations and appears open to qualified vendors who can meet the detailed technical specifications. The opportunity represents a strategic investment in educational infrastructure, with the goal of creating a fully equipped dental hygiene instructional facility that meets professional accreditation standards. Vendors will need to demonstrate technical capability, competitive pricing, and the ability to deliver a complete equipment package that supports comprehensive dental hygiene education.
