The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is issuing a Request for Quotation (RFQ) (Solicitation Number: 36C26226Q0236) for Dental Instrument Kits for the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System. This is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside procurement under NAICS Code 339114. The VA seeks Hygiene, Restorative, Endo, Endo Spreader, and Assorted Instrument Kits, requiring adherence to salient characteristics for "Brand Name or Equal" items. Quotes are due by January 30, 2026, 12:00 PM PT, and must be submitted electronically to Jonathan.Ford1@va.gov. Offerors must comply with the Buy American Act, Trade Agreements Act, and the Non-Manufacturing Rule, and provide an Authorized Distributor Letter. The contract will be a single Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) award, with delivery required within 30 days ARO to the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System.
The provided government file outlines a comprehensive list of dental and surgical instruments and related accessories, detailing quantities for each item. The file is structured as a catalog of individual line items (CLINs), specifying brand names, manufacturer part numbers, salient characteristics, equivalent brands, equivalent nomenclature, equivalent part numbers, and country of origin where applicable. Quantities vary per item, ranging from 12 to 150 units. While unit prices are listed, they are all marked as "-", indicating they are not provided in this document. The document also includes a section for "Equivalent Description Matching Salient Characteristics and/or location of information regarding equal capability" for several items. A second, smaller section references "Medtronic" brand with a part number "80372" and a quantity of 2, along with a note about an "HRM CATHETER EXTENDED WARRANTY 1 YEAR" which is already agreed upon for the base year. The primary purpose of this file appears to be a detailed inventory or a request for proposal (RFP) listing of medical/dental supplies without pricing information, focusing on precise product specifications and potential equivalents.
