Q--Dickerman Dental Lab Prosthetics Interim Intent to Sole Source

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Contracting Office intends to issue a sole source award to local small business contractor Dickerman Dental Prosthetics, 76 Pond Street, Sharon, MA 02067 for dental laboratory services for the Providence VA Medical Center. This award will be an interim contract through 09/30/2015 for use while we are developing an open market competitive contract which will provide the necessary outside laboratory support to provide uninterrupted patient care. Without the timely issuance of this dental laboratory order effective April 1, 2015, we will be unable to meet the dental needs of our veteran patients in a timely manner which will result in cancellation of appointments due to the lack of dental laboratory support. The intent of this procurement is to award based on sole source requirement. This purchase will be made under simplified acquisition procedures as authorized by FAR 13-106-1(b). This notice is neither a request for quote nor a solicitation for offers. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement for possible consideration in future procurements by the Government to [email protected] no later than 13 March, 2015.
