Dental Services for National Guard Bureau - Virgin Islands

The Virgin Islands National Guard intends to issue a Request for Quotation to VI Oral Surgery, Inc. (CAGE Code: 6WNR3) as a sole source. The objective of this project is to provide comprehensive military dental services to identify, treat, and resolve dental conditions that could result in a dental emergency or adversely impact a Soldier’s deployability. These services are intended to restore and maintain dental readiness, improve individual Soldier oral health, and enhance overall unit medical and deployment readiness in accordance with Department of Defense and Department of the Army dental readiness standards. The Army will be ready to deploy, fight, and win decisively against any adversary, anytime and anywhere, in a joint, multi-domain, high-intensity conflict while simultaneously deterring others and maintaining its ability to conduct irregular warfare. Individual Service Member readiness directly affects unit readiness and our ability to meet combatant commander requirements. Additional resources and programs are required to increase the Virgin Islands National Guard (VING) medical readiness. VING leadership requires support to identify and quantify the magnitude and status of medical readiness across all VING units.
