Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support has issued a Limited Sources Justification (LSJ) for the acquisition of 28 units of A-dec Inc. 500B PERIODONTICS DENTAL EQUIPMENT PACKAGE WITH INSTALL (CONUS). This acquisition supports Fort Meade, Maryland, and is justified under FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B), citing that only A-dec Inc. is capable of providing the unique and highly specialized supplies required. The existing dental chairs have exceeded their life expectancy and require replacement. This notice was published on February 19, 2026.
Scope of Acquisition
The required dental chair system package must meet specific minimum requirements, including:
- Control Panel: 5-inch glass touchscreen.
- Dental Drills: High speed, slow speed, and piezo ultrasonic.
- Surgical Light: Overhead, with touchless activation.
- Yellow Filter Light: For slowing dental resin hardening.
- Provider/Surgeon Controls: For chair tilt/recline, drill RPM/Torque, drill spin direction, light intensity, and Air/water syringe.
- Auxiliary Staff Controls: For chair height, high volume suction, low volume suction, and empty attachment.
- Upholstery: Seamless stitching, compatible with hospital-grade disinfectants.
- Power Supply: Integrated 300-Watt.
Contract Details
The order will be placed against ECAT Solicitation SPE2DH-21-R-0002, utilizing Contract Number SPE2DH-24-D-0006, which is valid through March 05, 2029. The Contracting Officer has determined the contract prices to be fair and reasonable and will seek an additional price reduction.
Justification & Market Research
Market research conducted in December 2025 and January 2026, involving web searches, vendor calls, catalog reviews, and ECRI analysis, concluded that only A-dec Inc. offers a system that meets all minimum clinical and technical requirements. Alternative models assessed did not satisfy these specifications.
Future Considerations
While this specific order is with A-dec Inc. due to the limited sources justification, the document notes that ECAT vendors can add new products quarterly, potentially enhancing future competition. DLA Troop Support continues its market research efforts to identify other acceptable sources for future acquisitions.
