Interested parties are responsible for adequately marking proprietary or competitively sensitive information contained in their response.

The primary objective of this contract is to hire qualified dentists and a dental specialist to review and assess community care dental treatment plans, document findings, and submit a concise report to Office of Dentistry dentists for review and authorization. This contract aims to hire qualified dentists (3.0 FTEE) and a dental specialist (0.5 FTEE) to meet this mandate. Additionally, a dental assistant (1.0 FTEE) will be hired to support the pilot program and coordinate care among contracted dentists, the community, VA dental clinics, and the Office of Dentistry. To adequately support documentation management, scheduling, communication and stakeholder engagement, process improvement, training, and reporting needs, the contractor will provide a Project Analyst (0.5 FTEE) in addition to the dentists and dental specialist.
