Contractor is required to certify that all work is completed in the United States and made with only ADA certified materials. (f) Quality Assurance: All products provided to the VA must be of the same consistent high quality as would be offered to the general commercial public in the United States. Contractor will use only high quality raw materials purchased from ISO 9001/CE registered companies. The VA will provide practitioner specific preferences to the contractor s dental lab. Contractor shall have a quality assurance process (QA) that will guarantee a product that meets the practitioner s prescription and that meets the patient s natural esthetics and provides superior fit with minimal chair time. Laboratory will use a computerized shade verification system as well as perform internal technical audits to ensure consistent high quality and timely restorations. (g) Warranty: The contractor will provide products that meet the practitioner s prescription and the esthetic and functional requirements of the patient. Contractor warranties all products against defects in material and workmanship. The contractor will be responsible for remaking all dental products that are defective or do not fit due to contractor s error. If a crown does not fit the die, it will be considered the fault of the contractor and the crown will be remade at no additional expense to the Government. If the crown fits the die, but not the patient s mouth, it will be considered the fault of the Government, and the remake will be at the Government s expense. If, in the case of porcelain work, the porcelain shatters within twelve (12) months of fabrication, it will be considered the fault of the contractor and will be remade at no additional expense to the Government.

If the framework fits the cast, but not the patient s mouth, it will be considered the fault of the Government, and the remake will be at the Government s expense. Changes to the partial denture framework design not approved by the dentist on the laboratory prescription will be considered flawed and unacceptable and will be remade at no additional cost to the VA. (h) Customer Support: Contractor s Dental Laboratory will provide professional case consultation and responsive, knowledgeable customer support representatives. An ideal local lab would be able to provide in-person shade matching and personalized pick-up and delivery. If local commercial dental laboratories do not exist or meet quality criteria, then Regional Dental laboratories will be considered. In this case, in-person shade matching and personalized pick-up and delivery would not be practical, and would not be considered in the selection criteria.
