- REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) NAVY/AIR FORCE DIGITAL CAD/CAM SCANNERS AND MILLING The Naval Medical Logistics Command is conducting market research on behalf of the Navy and Air Force to determine the physical and technical capabilities of commercial digital dental chair side and lab scanners, CAD/CAM solutions, and milling equipment currently available in the market place. This inquiry is strictly for informational purposes and should not be interpreted as a solicitation. No information provided in response to this inquiry will be considered binding. Confidentiality will be maintained on all information received. Again, this is a MARKET RESEARCH SURVEY, NOT a solicitation. Please answer the following as thoroughly as possible. Please read the entire survey prior to answering to avoid repetitive answers. Please do not answer the question by referring to the text provided in your brochure in lieu of answering the questions. If your company is able to provide multiple solutions, please complete this survey for each product line if the answers differ between the different solutions. Otherwise, state that the answers apply to multiple systems. Please provide electronic copies of the marketing and technical brochures for the system(s) that could potentially be offered in response to a future solicitation. Please provide a basic physical description of the products including the following information: a. Size (cube) and weight b. Restrictions for placement in confined space: minimum wall clearance, etc. c. Power source: line operation, batteries, pneumatic sources, etc d. Voltage requirements: dual, single, 110V/60Hz, 220V/50Hz i. Can the system be used worldwide? e. Network: Number of network drops, etc. CHAIR SIDE DIGITAL SCANNERS 1. Describe the software used within your system: a. Is the software capable of moving digital case files from a clinic directly to a dental laboratory for design and fabrication? b. Can the exported file of the virtual dental impression import into a non-proprietary CAD software? Does that require an interface or a permission key? Is there a cost associated with the transfer of images? 2. Are the dental scanners compatible with Sirona MCXL milling units and Kavo Everest milling units? Please list all milling units the dental scanner is compatible with. 3. Can the dental scanner accept.STL open file formats? 4. Does the dental scanner allow for the export of the scan in.STL format? Can the dental scanner allow the export of designed restoration in.STL format? 5. Are the clinical contact surfaces of the dental scanner sealed or capable of intermediate disinfectant? 6. Does the dental scanner take accurate digital impressions with or without the use of a reflective medium? 7. Can the dental scanner perform use powder less scanning? 8. Describe the different CAD restorations the system can perform. 9. Is the CAD Restoration system capable of doing single inlays, on lays, crowns, implants, and multiple restorations simultaneously on the same patient? 10. How long does it take the digital dental scanner to scan in arch? 11. Does the dental scanner have a buccal scan to produce bite registration? 12. What is the accuracy of the CAD restoration system? Please describe how this was measured. 13. What legacy models does the digital dental scanner integrate with? 14. What operating system does the digital dental scanner use? 15. Does the CAD restoration system need network connectivity to perform procedures? LABORATORY DIGITAL SCANNERS 1. Does the system automatically scan dental arches? If so, please describe how it does this. 2. Does the system use powder less scanning? 3. What is the accuracy of the lab scanner? Describe how this was measured. 4. Does the dental scanner allow for the export of the scan in.STL format? Does it allow the export of designed restoration in.STL format? 5. Can the exported file of the virtual dental impression import into a non-proprietary CAD software? Does that require an interface or a permission key? Is there a cost associated with the transfer of images? 6. Are the dental scanners compatible with Sirona MCXL milling units and Kavo Everest milling units? Please list all milling units the dental scanner is compatible with. 7. Are the clinical contact surfaces of the dental scanner sealed or capable of intermediate disinfectant? 8. What operating system does the digital scanner use? 9. Does this system need network connectivity to operate? MILLING UNITS 1. Please list all of the restorative materials the milling units is capable of milling. 2. Is the milling unit capable of accepting images from: a. Sirona Ineos Blue b. Sirona Omnicam c. Sirona Cerec d. E4D Scanner 3. How long does it take the milling unit to produce a crown? Please describe how this was calculated. 4. Is the unit capable of milling custom dental implants for Biomet 3i and Nobel Biocare implant platforms? 5. Can the system design virtual coping and full contour simultaneously? Can it fabricate out of two different materials? 6. What is the operating system? The NAICS code is 339114. RESPONSE SUBMISSION Responses are due by 25 Feb 2015 by 3:00 PM local time. Responses shall be submitted by email as a MS Word, MS Excel or Adobe PDF attachments via the AMRDEC SAFE website. No paper copies or electronic copies submitted outside of the SAFE website (i.e., emailed directly to the contract specialist or other NMLC email inbox) will be accepted. Submitting your response: The AMRDEC SAFE application is used to send large files to individuals which would normally be too large to send via email. There are no user accounts for SAFE - authentication is handled via email and Civilian Access Card (CAC). The application is available for use by responders. The AMRDEC SAFE application can be accessed via https://safe.amrdec.army.mil/safe. Responders shall proceed as "Non- CAC Users" under all circumstances. After selecting the "Non- CAC Users" option above, the page will be redirected to the package upload form. Fill in all the required input fields (field names are in italics): Personal Information: Your Name - Your name, Your Company Name. Your Email address - Your email address. Confirm Your Email Address - Re-enter your email address. File Information: Description of File(s) - Enter a description for the package; File(s) - Click the "Browse" button to select your file(s). You may add up to 25 files per package, so long as the total file size does not exceed 2GB. The total file size is the combined file size of all submitted files. Deletion Date - Leave this date at the default setting of two weeks (14 days) from the submission date. Recipient Information: Manually Enter Email Address: Input Andrew.Hampton@med.navy.mil and hit the add button. (To remove a recipient, highlight their name and click the "Remove" button.) Email Settings: Check all four of the boxes: - Encrypt email message when possible. - Notify me when file(s) downloads are STARTED. - Notify me when file(s) downloads are COMPLETED. - Require CAC for Pick-up (all recipients will need to log in with a CAC to download file(s). To the right of "Email Settings" is a nondescript box with two options (None or FOUO). Select the FOUO option and select "sensitive" from the dropdown menu below. Review all fields for accuracy and hit the ‘submit" button. Clicking the "Submit" button will upload the files and submit the package. Guest users will need to check their email to verify their email address before the recipients will be notified. After the package has been uploaded, the Government will receive a link to the package download page as well as a password. These passwords are unique for each recipient (not the package), and will be disabled once SAFE detects that the user successfully downloaded each file within the package. Once the responder has submitted their response, they shall send a confirmation email to Andrew.Hampton@med.navy.mil and provide their company name and contact information as well stating that they have submitted documentation to SAFE in response to the Request for Information (RFI) for the Navy/Air Force Digital CAD/CAM Scanners and Milling. Submission of responses is a onetime affair (unless in unusual circumstances multiple SAFE submissions are required because a responder exceeded the 25 file limit per SAFE submission.).
