AI Contract Overview
The Department of Veterans Affairs, through the Network Contracting Office 2, intends to award a sole-source Firm Fixed Price contract to Planmeca for the procurement of a Planmeca ProMax 3D Plus dental X-ray system to be delivered to the Syracuse VA Medical Center. This action is justified under FAR 13.106-1(b) due to the requirement for strict compatibility with existing Planmeca equipment, which limits the source to the original equipment manufacturer only. The Veterans Health Administration strictly prohibits the use of gray market items, ensuring that all equipment is sourced exclusively through authorized OEM channels. Although this is a notice of intent and not a solicitation for quotes, responsible sources may submit a capability statement by 10:00 AM Eastern Standard Time on May 27, 2027, via email to Patricia Tolini, the Contracting Officer, with no guarantee that competition will be opened. The procurement complies with FAR 13.501 public notice requirements and follows market research conducted under FAR Part 10, which confirmed Planmeca as the only authorized vendor capable of providing installation and support. No contract value, pricing details, or delivery schedule are specified, as the acquisition is non-competitive and focused solely on brand-name compliance. The place of performance is the Syracuse VA Medical Center, with no packaging, inspection criteria, or invoicing details provided beyond the prohibition of unauthorized equipment and the requirement for OEM authenticity. The contract type is Firm Fixed Price, and the NAICS code is 339114, with no set-aside or socioeconomic considerations identified, as the acquisition is structured entirely around technical compatibility and regulatory compliance.
