AFRH Denture Laboratory Services - Gulfport MS

The contract solicits denture laboratory services for the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Gulfport, Mississippi, under a small business set-aside designated as Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5, with NAICS code 339116 and a 500-employee size standard. The work involves the fabrication, repair, relining, and rebasing of dentures using nickel- and beryllium-free materials in compliance with ANSI/ADA Specification No. 14 and other applicable standards, including HIPAA and OSHA regulations. All services must adhere to a specified performance work statement, with deliveries required to meet a seven-business-day turnaround for standard cases and ten days for exceptions, excluding shipping time. Overnight shipping is mandatory at the contractor’s expense, and all cases must be packaged in separate, clearly labeled boxes with patient identification to prevent damage during transit. The contract includes a base period beginning October 1, 2026, and four one-year option periods, with a potential six-month extension under FAR 52.217-8, and performance will be evaluated under a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) source selection process. Technical acceptability hinges on demonstrated laboratory capabilities, compliance with quality standards, and submission of a Quality Control Plan, while past performance must be acceptable or neutral, and price is the decisive factor among qualified offerors. The contractor must operate with complete adherence to federal labor standards, including service contract labor requirements, and comply with all security and privacy directives, including prohibitions against removing or disclosing patient health information, mandatory HIPAA and privacy training, and immediate reporting of any threats to AFRH residents or personnel. All personnel must be fluent in English, and supervisory oversight will include routine site visits, performance reviews, and coordination with the Contracting Officer. Billing is strictly controlled through the Department of the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform, with no direct billing to residents permitted, and invoicing must occur monthly for completed services. Offerors are required to submit three volumes electronically: a three-page technical capability statement, up to three past performance references, and a completed pricing worksheet with fully burdened firm-fixed unit prices covering the base and all options, plus a Service Contract Labor Standards Verification Form. Participation requires SAM registration, a valid Unique Entity Identifier, and certifications on size status and socioeconomic categories. The Contracting Officer, Candy Mott-Harris, based in Herndon, Virginia, holds sole authority to bind the Government, and all submissions must be received
