- The National Cancer Institute (NCI), Radiation Oncology Branch (ROB), plans to procure on a sole source basis, maintenance and software service agreement for the X-Knife and ImageFusion software with U.S. Surgical, 150 Glover Avenue, Norwalk, CT 06856. The services will be procured in accordance with the simplified acquisition procedures authorized in FAR Part 13. The North American Industry Classification System code is 811219 and the business size standard is $6M. The work being generated by NCI and the clinical protocols used in the ROB clinic require current, up-to-date devices to be implemented for these systems. The current X-Knife and ImageFusion systems that are maintained are a stereotactic radiosurgery system that functions on existing as well as future linear accelerators. The contractor shall provide software upgrades. These systems provide stereotactic positioning, immobilization and alignment hardware, precision stereotactic applicators and an FDA approved treatment-planning system (DICOM-3 compliant, angiographic, CT, MR, simultaneous 3 image sets per patient, preplanning with CT/MR without localizer frame, auto identification of BRW/CRW rod positions, autocontour, surface tilt and display, transform to BRW/CRW coordinates, interactive 3D anatomical surfaces, multi-isocenter dose calculation, comprehensive QA checks in planning software, and automatic beam optimization). These systems and mini-multileaf collimator provide the means to perform both stereotactic and medium field conformal radiotherapy localization, treatment planning and treatment delivery. Other hardware included are an intubation head ring assembly with Keller Teil head ring positioner, a Gill-Thomas-Cosman relocatable head frame, a localizer Depth Helmet for positioning verification, and a head and neck localizer frame (HNL) for the MMLC (mini-multileaf collimator).
