Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the VA San Diego Healthcare System, has issued a Sources Sought notice (Notice ID: 5908c48fc68c4319ac195f3872ef0ad6) to identify potential sources for CEREC Dental Equipment. This market research aims to acquire high-speed, chairside dental milling machines to enhance the clinic's capability for single-visit, same-day dental restorations and improve patient care. Responses are due by June 5, 2026, at 12:00 PM Pacific Time.
Purpose & Scope
This Sources Sought is for the acquisition, installation, integration, and comprehensive training for two (2) high-speed, chairside dental milling machines.

The required system must ensure seamless interoperability with existing CEREC Primescan scanners and design software, and comply with all VA security, privacy, and data management standards. The machines will not store patient information.
