The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Network Contracting Office 17 in San Antonio, Texas, has issued a sources-sought notice for the acquisition of intraoral scanning systems and associated equipment to support the VA North Texas Health Care System in Dallas. This action is not a formal solicitation but a market research effort to gather industry input on the availability of CEREC PRIMESCAN AC TP STEEL(DI) units, software licenses, peripheral hardware including Primemill US systems, Speedfire Ovens, suction units, cleaning hoses, PrimePrint solutions, Nitrogen generators, InLab PCs, monitors, and one-time on-site training. The requirement is classified under NAICS code 339114 for Dental Equipment and Supplies Manufacturing, with a Product/Service Code of 6520, and all items are intended for delivery by October 15, 2026, to the Dallas VA Hospital at 4500 South Lancaster Road, with delivery terms specified as FOB Destination. The response deadline was set for August 17, 2026, at 11:00 AM Central Time, and all responses must be submitted via email to the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer, with no formal proposals required beyond basic business information and socioeconomic representation. The notice does not include pricing, contract value estimates, or award terms, as it is solely for planning and market analysis purposes. No delivery schedule, payment terms, or detailed technical specifications are binding at this stage. However, if a formal contract follows, the procurement will incorporate standard FAR provisions including 52.212-4 and 52.212-5, with deviations such as 52.222-90 addressing DEI discrimination, 52.223-23 for sustainable products, 52.240-91 for security prohibitions, and VA-specific clauses related to delivery location, packing, and electronic invoicing through Tungsten Network, which is mandatory. Contractors must certify their small business status if asserting any socioeconomic preference, including HUBZone, 8(a), WOSB, EDWOSB, or service-disabled veteran-owned designations, and must maintain active SAM registration with a valid UEI. Deliveries must be coordinated with VA Logistics prior to arrival, during normal business hours, and must comply with labeling, waste removal, and safety protocols. Any work on-site requires adherence to construction site rules and
