- Justification and Approval Redacted DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL MEDICAL LOGISTICS COMMAND NOTICE OF INTENT The Naval Medical Logistics Command intends to negotiate on a sole source basis (IAW FAR 13.106-1(b)(2)) with Dentsply IH, Inc., 590 Lincoln St., Waltham, MA 02451-2173, as the only responsible source that can provide dental implant abutments. The requirement for dental implant abutments is for Naval Medical Center Branch Health Clinic Norfolk, Virginia. The contractor shall be able to provide dental implant abutments as needed for patient care. The vendor shall provide the following dental implant abutments on an as needed basis: a. Titanium Implant Abutment b. Titanium Gold Shaded Abutment c. Zirconia Abutment d. Titanium Duplicate Abutment e. Zirconia Shaded Abutment In recent years the Navy has seen an influx of patients with dental implants made by a variety of manufacturers (this is due to individuals receiving dental services outside the military environment). As the types of implants in patients expand to cover a multitude of implant manufacturers, the need exists for the Navy to provide implant abutments for a wide variety of implant systems. The subsequent need to provide abutments for an expanding list of implant types is made difficult since each manufacturer requires specific equipment and additional parts for their own implant systems. Since each manufacturer makes their own abutments, manufactures will not warranty their abutments to other manufacturer implants. While some companies provide compatible abutments covering a limited number of manufacturer implants, the end user is required to possess the specific equipment, additional parts and the addition of a laboratory technician to wax the shape of an abutment before scanning. Additionally, these companies will not warranty the implant that the abutment was created for. The system shall design the abutment according to a set of rules and handle the complexity of abutment design without the need for a technician to manually create a model. It shall involve digital duplication with a computer aided manufacturing processes to create precision machine abutments for customization to the widest range of implant systems. The system shall measure the oral geometry of a patients' mouth. The system shall have the technology coupled with their computer aided manufacturing process for abutments to customize abutments without regard to the implant manufacturer. In addition to manufacturing a wide variety of implant systems the contractor will warrant not only their abutment but the implant replacement cost if the implant fails while using their abutment. The contractor shall deliver manufactured products to the site with a maximum turn-around time of 10 days from the date the order is received. The Government shall be responsible for all shipping costs, including shipment of physical cases from the dental laboratory and the contractor shall be responsible for all return shipping costs. The contractor shall provide a digital receipt to the submitting laboratory for all case submissions. The contractor shall notify the submitting laboratory of any observed design or manufacturing problems within two (2) hours of case submission. If a product is delivered to the site that does not meet the requirement of the government, the contractor shall correct the deficiency, remanufacture another product, and deliver to the site with no additional cost to the government with a maximum turn-around time of 10 days. The equipment shall be compliant with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirements to market and deliver medical products for use in the United States of America, even should delivery be requested outside of the United States. The claims made for the product shall comply with the regulations of the FDA with respect to products for marketing and delivery of a medical product for use in the United States of America, even should delivery be requested outside of the United States. The equipment shall be installed in compliance with OSHA requirements. Vendor shall be an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) authorized dealer, authorized distributor or authorized reseller for the proposed equipment/system such that OEM warranty and service are provided and maintained by the OEM.
