Quick Summary
The Department of the Army, specifically the Virgin Islands National Guard (VING), intends to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for Dental Services in Kingshill, VI. This is a Presolicitation with an intent to award on a sole-source basis to VI Oral Surgery, Inc. (CAGE Code: 6WNR3). The requirement is a Total Small Business Set-Aside. Responses from interested parties are due by April 15, 2026.
Purpose & Scope
The primary objective is to provide comprehensive military dental services to identify, treat, and resolve dental conditions that could impact a Soldier’s deployability. These services aim to restore and maintain dental readiness, improve individual Soldier oral health, and enhance overall unit medical and deployment readiness in accordance with Department of Defense and Department of the Army standards.
Specific services include:
- Treatment for service members with previously identified deployment-limiting conditions, referred to the contractor's office.
- Agreement on costs between the contractor and VIARNG prior to treatment.
- Agreement on changes to treatment plans and associated costs by VIARNG leadership (DSS, State Surgeon, or SDO) before modified plans are performed.
- Provision of updates and documentation to VIARNG for accurate dental health records in Military databases (contractor not required to access/upload directly).
- Initial comprehensive dental evaluation for each patient prior to treatment.

Justification & Context
A Limited Competition Justification document indicates the intent to award this contract on a sole-source basis to VI Oral Surgery, Inc. due to the limited availability of qualified providers in St. Croix. Market research revealed only one SBA-certified small business oral surgeon on the island. Awarding to an off-island provider was deemed to incur excessive costs for transporting soldiers. This requirement is below the simplified acquisition threshold and is 100% set-aside for small businesses. The contracting activity will periodically check for new oral surgeon offices to potentially increase future competition.
Action Items
