The purpose of this sources sought notice is to conduct market research to determine if responsible sources exist by determining if this effort can be successfully competed and/or set-aside for Small Businesses. The proposed North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 339114 - Dental Equipment and Supplies Manufacturing 750 employees. The Government will use this information to determine the best acquisition strategy for this procurement. The Government is interested in all small businesses to include 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran- Owned, HubZone, and Women-Owned small business concerns. Medical Readiness Contracting Office - West JBSA Fort Sam Houston, Texas, is seeking potential sources to provide a Dental Delivery Units with Accessories. The Government’s requirement is to purchase this Dental Delivery Units with Accessories, for Budge Dental Clinic and Rhoades Dental Clinic, Brooke Army Medical Center, JBSA Fort Sam Houston, Texas. All listed salient characteristics are applicable to Dental Delivery Units with Accessories are listed below: Chair for seating dental patient during dental procedures. Salient Characteristics Ultra-thin flexible back rest, measuring 1.25” thick on the seamless upholstery providing superior operator access to the oral cavity, reduces the chance of repetitive stress injury and provides excellent patient comfort and support overextended treatment periods. · Headrest, standard dual articulating with gliding cushion and quick release adjustment lever. (Also available in non- articulating Military “Bun” headrest version to accommodate regulation hairstyles for female personnel.) 2-position armrests, mounted mid-thigh position, design articulates forward for patient access. Robust design with durable Santoprene surface for comfort and ease of asepsis. Lift range 13.5”-31.5” (Note: measurements are made from the floor to the bottom of the seat cushion.) Chair swivels 60° (30° each side of center) enhances patient and operator accessibility. Automatic Chair-Stop reduces risk of injury or damage to equipment when sensors detect obstruction. Lock-out feature disables chair movement when handpiece is in use. Integrated 300-Watt power supply provides electrical requirements for chair-mounted dental light and ancillary products. UL rated to 500LB. (227 kg) maximum patient load. Accumulators in the hydraulic lift system provide a soft chair start and stop. Lift cylinders are guaranteed for ten years. Self-diagnosing circuit board that is easily programmable, with “limp-along” lift activation. Bi-directional hydraulic motor pump is compact and requires fewer service parts. · Cast iron baseplate, powder coat painted and sealed with an elastomeric polymer finish to prevent rust and scratch damage to the floor. · Vacuum-formed seamless upholstery is constructed of 40 ounces per yard/67-gauge superior grade vinyl. A-dec vinyl meets flammability specifications for: California Flammability Regulation 117-2013. Virtual-Pivot design aligns the natural spine rotation of the seated patient with the chair’s rotational axis. This unique design feature maintains patient position and comfort throughout the chair’s entire range of motion. UL Classified in USA and Canada. CE compliant. Chair-mounted delivery system Salient Characteristics Integrated four position handpiece control block is capable of operating up to four active handpiece positions and is constructed of plated lead- free brass (per section 14.17 of the Safe Drinking Water Act). Each handpiece position has an individual drive air and water adjustment. Removable water cartridge valves allow for quick and easy servicing of block. A single sliding locking tab secures the handpiece tubing to the control block requiring no tools and allows easy access to connect or disconnect tubing. Unique water-flow system eliminates dead ends that can harbor stagnant water. Positive Positioning lets doctors smoothly place the delivery where they want—and keeps it in place. LED Coolant indicator lights up when a handpiece is lifted out of the holder, so there’s no more second-guessing which knob to use when making adjustments. Customizable placement with six positions on the control head, so doctors can integrate almost any devices they choose. Removable tray holder is integrated stackable and customizable. Left/Right convertible without the use of tools. Data Control System (DCS) is used to control all of the electrical components (fiber optics, heated syringe, touch pad, camera, electric micro-motors, and dental light). The DCS allows plug and play add-ons. Chair lockout stop feature prevents the accidental movement of the chair when a handpiece or instrument is in use. · Silicone handpiece tubing contains anti-microbial AlphaSan® and quick-disconnects secured to the control block. Lighter, more flexible and more durable than vinyl tubing. A 2.0 liter, quick-connect water bottle is designed with an interior pickup tube which reduces the chance of cross-contamination. The system flush toggle has a flow-through design that eliminates stagnant water and flushes all tubing simultaneously. · All interior water lines used throughout delivery system contain anti- microbial AlphaSan® which protects against microbial colonization on interior and exterior surfaces. The control head provides ample space to integrate up to six clinical devices. The flex arm enables easy routing of cables and tubing. USB extension cable is provided in delivery system umbilical. Handpiece holders are independently adjustable a full 45 degrees to allow precise positioning of instruments. Dental Assistant’s Arm Salient Characteristics Articulated 6-axis arm (long arm) and 5-axis (short arm) allows for vertical and horizontal adjustments and greater than 270° range of positioning of the assistant’s instrumentation, promoting improved ergonomics and safety for the assistant, and accommodating both two and four handed dentistry. Vertical movement of 22.75" (short arm) to a horizontal movement of 36" (long arm). Multiple holder configurations including 3-position, 4-position, or dual 2- position. Individually articulating holders for maximum flexibility in instrument positioning. Long arm and short arm versions provide options to suit all requirements. Integral solids collector with fine mesh screen to trap materials from entering vacuum system and is easily maintained. Modular, push-on connections on both ends of vacuum tubings for reliable seal and easy maintenance. Standard multi-function touchpad provides secondary control of the chair, light, and accessory functions. Designed to be used as a handle for easy positioning of the assistant’s arm. Capability of holding ancillary devices (such as curing light, warm water syringe, etc.) UL Certified in Canada and United States. CE certified in EU. Dental operating light Salient Characteristics Three axis barycentric positioning. Full 540 degrees of horizontal rotation. The Entire Light Head rotates 500-600°, the Optics Head rotates 105° ±5 total (0° up, 105° down), the Optics Head rotates 80° ±5° (±40° from vertical). Three intensity settings (15000/25000/30000lux) (1394/2323/2787fc) Cure-safe composite setting (25000lux(2323fc)/yellow): provides a “yellow” light providing ample illumination in the oral cavity without the premature curing of photo-initiated dental materials. Color Temperature: High fidelity ~90 CRI/5000K for accurate color rendering and tissue analysis. Ability/ease of positioning: Rotation axis about the rigid arm to flex arm interface: There is 315±5° of travel. The vertical travel shall be achieved via the parallel link system in the flex arm. This travel is to be 27.9 inches (71.1cm). Flexible, fracture resistant handles stay cool to touch, provide positive tactile feel, and protect head from potential impact damage. Thermal energy output: 24 BTU/hr. nominal at High intensity. No radiant heat. No bulb replacement. 15-Watt power consumption. Orbital LED array on magnesium chassis dissipates heat passively, no hot surfaces or handles and does not require a cooling system or fan. Full touchpad control of light modes with auto on/off capabilities on A-dec’s DCS touch pads. Pattern and shadowing characteristics exceed ISO 9680 requirements. “Stadium” style LED array minimizes shadowing due to blockage from instruments and the dental team. When properly focused, the light pattern at 700 mm is 100±25mm x 150±25mm. Pattern size is defined at 10% of the maximum intensity. The illumination shall decrease in intensity progressively and smoothly toward the pattern edge Smooth surface exterior parts are able to be cleaned and disinfected without damage to the light’s surfaces or markings.
