U099--Digital Denture and Prosthodontic Training 36C24827Q0008

The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business to deliver in-person training on validated digital denture and fixed prosthodontic workflows at the Malcolm Randall VA Medical Center in Gainesville, Florida. The training must cover Oversize and Ivotion Dentures using both 3Shape and CAM workflows, requiring 2.5 to 3 days of instruction, with additional modules for Crown and Bridge, Screw Retained Crown and Bridge, and Custom Abutments. Workflows involving implant-supported dentures and dentures over titanium bars are excluded as they are not validated. The contract is a Firm Fixed Price award under FAR Part 12 for commercial services, with a total estimated value of $15 million, and performance is scheduled to be completed by October 12, 2026. The place of performance is FOB Destination, meaning risk of loss transfers to the government upon delivery at the medical center. The solicitation is set aside exclusively for SDVOSBs under VAAR subpart 819.70, with strict subcontracting limitations requiring the prime contractor to not pay more than 50% of the contract value to non-SDVOSB subcontractors, excluding direct costs like travel. Contractors must submit a signed certification of compliance with these limitations and maintain active registration in the System for Award Management with a valid Unique Entity ID. Invoices must be submitted electronically through the Tungsten Network, and all payments will be processed via Electronic Funds Transfer. The evaluation will be based on a best value trade-off, prioritizing Technical and Quality Control factors over price, with price becoming increasingly significant as technical merit narrows among offerors. The contract incorporates numerous FAR and VAAR clauses including prohibitions on contracting with inverted domestic corporations, whistleblower rights, combating trafficking in persons, paid sick leave under Executive Order 13706, DEI non-discrimination, and prompt payment requirements. Noncompliance with SDVOSB representation may result in mandatory five-year debarment, and all records are subject to audit by the Comptroller General. The Contracting Officer for this procurement is Jeremy Parrish, and no Contracting Officer’s Representative has been designated.
