Mobile Dental Services

Special Notice: Subject to final approval, The Bureau of Fiscal Service, on behalf of the Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH) in Washington, DC, intends to negotiate a sole source procurement in accordance with FAR 6.302-1, to Mantoni, Dr. Robert Inc, 8757 Georgia Ave, Ste 530, Silver Springs, MD 20910-4488 for Mobile Dental Services. In a recent finding by Joint Commission Resources it was determined that the AFRH's in-house dental clinic does not meet all applicable Joint Commission standards. In order to allow adequate time for the AFRH to make the necessary changes to get the clinic in compliance with all Joint Commission standards, there is a need to continue the current Mobile Dental Services. It is currently unknown exactly how long it will take to get the clinic to the point of being fully operational. The resulting contract will be awarded for a base period of six (6) months with two 3-month option periods. Once the in-house dental clinic is fully operational, it is the intent of the Government to issue a solicitation on a competitive basis. The Bureau of Fiscal Service will consider all affirmative responses received no later than Wednesday, November 20, 2013 at 2:00 PM ET. Affirmative responses shall be accompanied by sufficient documentation to clearly show how it would be advantageous to the Government to switch providers for this requirement. A request for information will not be considered an affirmative response. If no affirmative response is received that clearly demonstrates the ability to meet all the requirements and that is more advantageous to the Government, we intend to proceed with the sole source award. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
