The North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) is 339999. Quotes shall be submitted FOB Destination and equipment delivery time should be specified on the quote. The Stratton VA Medical Center, Albany, NY has a requirement for a PTW MP3-S Computer Assisted Linear Accelerator Dosimetry System Utilizing 3D Scanning (Brand Name or Equal). The system will be used for dose distribution measurements and beam analysis in Radiation Therapy and will utilize 3D Scanning of the electron beam. The system will consist of a 142 Liter capacity Water Tank, Full 3D Moving Mechanism which will position to within + 0.1mm utilizing stepping motors for stop and integrate as well as continuous scanning, Two (2) Waterproof Ion Chambers, Control Pendant with visual LED readout of X,Y,Z positioning, Electric Lifting Carriage with Built-in water Reservoir, Leveling Pedestal with 45 & 90 Degree Rotational Accuracy, Control Unit with Tandem Dual Channel Electrometer, Connection & Ionization Cables, Chamber Holders and Clamps, Software for Beam Data Acquisition and Analysis, Treatment Planning Software Module, Operators and Maintenance Manuals, On Site Installation and Training. The system must be compatible with the two existing government owned Linear Accelerators, a Varian Model CL6/100 Linear Accelerator Linear and a Varian Model CL2100 Linear Accelerator. Contractor will provide a one year warranty for materials & workmanship from the date of installation and final acceptance. The scanning system will be used to perform initial commissioning of any new linear accelerators, perform annual mini-commissioning and insure that the linear accelerator is meeting all of the AAPM criteria. It will also perform profile measurements for flatness and symmetry whenever film dosimetry shows flatness and symmetry are out of range. The system will collect data on small electron cutouts to evaluate the effect on the percent depth dose curve and will be used to verify the beam characteristics of an existing MIMIC IMRT delivery system.
