Sources Sought Notice Page 1 of 13

Description The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Non-Expendable Equipment National Program has identified the KaVo® Handpieces: Dental as a candidate for an Enterprise-wide (otherwise referred to as national) single Requirements contract award. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of Acquisition, Logistics, and Construction Enterprise Procurement Office (EPO), on behalf of VHA, is issuing this Sources Sought Notice in accordance with the Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Overhaul (RFO) 10.001(b) to determine the availability and technical capabilities of qualified sources. The EPO, in conjunction with VHA, is seeking a qualified vendor to provide the KaVo® on an Enterprise-wide basis. The VA intends to award a single Requirements Contract with Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) orders in accordance with RFO 16.503 to a vendor capable of providing dental handpieces. Vendors will be required to deliver dental handpieces to VA medical centers and facilities throughout the Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside of the Continental United States (OCONUS). OCONUS includes locations in Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam, Philippines, American Samoa, and Northern Mariana Islands. The anticipated period of performance is for one 12-month base period with four 12-month option periods from the date of award. However, the Government's decision as to whether to continue with the contract, upon annual review, will be based upon successful performance during each previous year and continued need. The Vendor must demonstrate the ability to meet all requirements for the solicitation. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 339114 — Dental Equipment and Supplies Manufacturing; Product Service Code: 6520 — Dental Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies; and the associated size standard is 750 employees. The RFO Provision found at 52.204-7 requires that the Offeror shall have an active Federal Government contracts registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) when submitting an offer or quotation in response to this solicitation and at the time of award. You may access the website at SAM.gov | Home. All offerors must be certified with the appropriate NAICS code on the SAM website. All SDVOSB/VOSB offerors must be verified in the SBA database at: https://veterans.certify.sba.gov/#search at the time of proposal submission. This notice is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a commitment on the part of the Government to award a contract, nor does the Government intend to pay for any information submitted as a result of this notice. This Sources Sought Notice is part of a continuous process for obtaining the latest information on the commercial status of the industry with respect to its current and near-term abilities. The information provided herein is subject to change and in no way binds the Government to solicit for, or award, a competitive contract. It is emphasized that this is a notice solely for planning and informational purposes.

2.0 Scope Handpieces are designed to operate dental rotary instruments, such as dental burs and polishers. They are used in procedures to remove tooth structures, polish dental restorations, clean teeth, and perform other dental procedures. Dental handpieces are driven by connection to a power source, either a pneumatic (compressed air) system or an electric motor.

Air Driven High Speed Dental Handpieces Air-driven high-speed handpieces utilize compressed air to achieve high rotational speeds, typically up to 400,000 RPM, for procedures such as tooth preparation, removal of restorative materials, and crown and bridge work. These handpieces feature ergonomic designs, push-button chuck mechanisms, integrated water spray systems for cooling, and lightweight construction to enhance clinician control and patient comfort. Air Driven Low Speed Dental Handpieces Air-driven low-speed handpieces are designed for procedures requiring controlled speed and torque, including polishing, finishing, caries removal, and endodontic applications. Systems commonly include straight and contra-angle attachments and allow for precise operation at reduced rotational speeds. Components are designed for durability, ease of maintenance, and compliance with sterilization requirements. Electric High Speed Dental Handpieces Electric high-speed handpieces are motor-driven instruments that provide consistent torque across all operating speeds, resulting in smooth and efficient cutting performance. These handpieces typically operate at speeds up to 200,000 RPM and are used for advanced restorative and prosthodontic procedures. Benefits include quieter operation, reduced vibration, improved cutting control, and programmable or adjustable speed settings. Electric Low Speed Dental Handpieces Electric low-speed handpieces are designed to deliver high torque at low RPMs for precision-based procedures such as endodontics, implant preparation, polishing, and finishing. These systems support variable speed control, attachment versatility, and consistent performance under load, enhancing procedural accuracy and clinician ergonomics.
