The move aims to improve and standardize dental care delivery for eligible Veterans; about 26% of nearly nine million enrolled Veterans qualify for VA dental benefits. In fiscal year 2025, VA provided dental care to 888,051 Veterans and more than 3.5 million dental procedures via community care. Interested vendors must submit proposals by March 16, 2026.
