6520 - Schick 33 Sensors and Starter Kits

Solicitation / RFP / RFQ

This document is a justification for a single-source award for Schick dental X-ray Sensor Starter Kits (sizes S0, S1, and S2) for the Lebanon VA Medical Center (VAMC). The VAMC requires these specific sensors to integrate with their existing Planmecha xray intraoral X-ray generators and Sirona Dentsply Systems.

• Brand-name Schick dental X-ray Sensor Starter Kits, including sensors, spare cables, sheaths, holsters, USB modules, clips, wall mounts, and USB cables.

• The sensors must be compatible with existing wall-mounted X-ray generators and provide diagnostic images for faster, more accurate dental diagnoses.

• The equipment must seamlessly integrate with the VAMC's current inventory and platform, offering superior image clarity and customization.

• The acquisition is for supplies (dental X-ray sensors).

• The estimated dollar value is not explicitly stated but falls within the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) threshold, not exceeding the SAT.

• This document is a justification for a single-source award, not a solicitation requiring proposal submissions.

• The justification details market research conducted, including searches of FPDS, GSA, ECAT, NAC/SAC, and a VetCert search. A Sources Sought was issued, and direct communication with the OEM occurred.

• Market research identified potential SDVOSBs and VOSBs, but none were authorized to distribute the specific brand-name sensors required. Alternative products offered did not conform to the requirements.

• This is Attachment 1: Single Source Justification for SAP up to SAT, Revision 02, with an Effective Date of 12/30/2025.

• Procuring from another vendor would require a complete system overhaul, undermine current SOPs, create a training burden, interrupt patient care, and incur additional costs.
