    The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to award a sole source contract to Dentsply Sirona for the procurement of twelve dental X-ray units at the Buffalo VAMC, located in Albany, NY. The current dental X-ray units, installed in 2007, have surpassed their useful life and were due for replacement in 2017. With the facility already having purchased eight X-ray units for twelve dental observatories, an additional four units are now required due to construction changes. The timely replacement of these units is crucial, as delays in dental imaging can significantly impact Veteran care. This notice serves as an indication of the VA's commitment to maintaining efficient healthcare services and addressing equipment needs within their facilities, emphasizing the importance of timely procurement processes in support of veteran healthcare.
    P03 - Limiting Sources Up to SAT FSS.pdf
    The Department of Veterans Affairs is initiating a limited source procurement for eight Heliodent XL dental x-ray machines from Dentsply Sirona, in response to urgent needs at the Buffalo VA Medical Center. The existing x-ray units, installed in 2007, have exceeded their operational lifespan, leading to delays in veteran care. The total estimated value of this procurement action is $29,084.64. Searches in SBA and GSA databases confirmed that Dentsply is the sole provider of these required machines, with no other vendors or resellers authorized to supply them. The justification for this limited sourcing is based on the unique compatibility of Heliodent machines with existing dental cabinets and the requirement for timely care for veterans. The procurement aligns with established federal regulations, ensuring that the process adheres to the necessary legal framework for federal supply scheduling. The documentation meets the requirements set by FAR 8.405-6, eliminating the need for a traditional justification under FAR 6.303.
