Sole Brand A-dec Chairs and Equipment

The Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG), on behalf of West Georgia Technical College (WGTC), issued a Request for Quotes (eRFQ) on June 21, 2023, seeking a one-time purchase of sole brand A-dec Chairs and Equipment with installation services for the School of Health Sciences Program's Dental Assisting Program. The procurement required no substitution on brand make or model, with the equipment intended to augment existing inventory, replace worn equipment, and enable simultaneous student training during hands-on instruction designed to prepare students for careers in dental services. The original due date for submission was June 28, 2023; however, the solicitation was cancelled on July 5, 2023, due to redevelopment requirements. The request sought to establish a contract with one qualified supplier capable of providing the specialized dental equipment and professional installation services. No specific evaluation criteria, budget range, or award value was disclosed in the available documentation.

The solicitation contained no identified set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions limiting eligible respondents to specific business classifications. No incumbent vendors or current contractors were listed in the available materials, though the documentation indicates that A-dec equipment was already in use across WGTC campuses, suggesting existing familiarity with this equipment line. All materials and proposals submitted under the original solicitation would remain closed pending the development and issuance of a new solicitation, with interested suppliers required to respond to new bid forms and requirements if the State Entity elects to proceed. Suppliers were directed to monitor the Georgia Procurement Registry at https://ssl.doas.state.ga.us/gpr/ for any future solicitations related to this requirement, and technical questions regarding the Team Georgia Marketplace platform could be directed to the DOAS Customer Service Help Desk at 404-657-6000 or ProcurementHelp@doas.ga.gov.
