- Description
- This is an unrestricted requirement. The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) located on the National Naval Medical Center (NNMC) in Bethesda, MD intends to purchase a water phantom scanning system, and a system for the routine verification of fields of linear accelerators. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for a commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is HU0001-11-Q-0221-RFQ and it is being issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-46, effective 29 OCT 2010. NAICS code 339112 applies. The required delivery date is 20 September 11. FOB Destination. Early deliveries will NOT be accepted. CLIN Description 0001 Water Phantom Scanning System $__________ each 0002 System for Routine Verification of Fields for Linear Accelerators $__________each Specifications: 1) The Water Phantom Scanning System must: a) be capable of scanning high-energy photon (4-15 MV) and electron (6 - 18 MeV) fields from clinical linear accelerators in at least two directions; b) have a scanning area in water of at least 450 mm x 300 mm (horizontal x vertical); c) be able to perform fast (approximately 50 mm/sec), and slow scans (20 mm/sec or slower); d) have a chamber position reproducibility of at least 0.1 mm; e) comprise two water-proof micro ionization chambers with a volume not greater than 0.15 cm3 for relative measurements f) comprise a Farmer-type water-proof ionization chamber with a volume approximately 0.5-0. 6 cm3 for absolute dosimetry measurements g) allow for polarizing voltage range: at least -400 to + 400 V; h) capable of measuring ionization current in the range at least 1 pA - 1 mA; i) its software must be capable of data analysis according to the existing dosimetry protocols and compatible with the CMS treatment planning system. (Elekta AB) 2) The System for Routine Verification of Fields for Linear Accelerators must: a) be capable of automatic daily linac startup verifications of radiation fields of clinical linear accelerators; b) be based on an array of ionization chambers or diods; c) provide results of verification immediately after the test irradiation is finished; d) have the ability to work with photons in the 4 - 15 MV energy range and electrons in the 6 - 18 MeV energy range; e) have an active area of at least 25 cm x 25 cm; f) have at lease 400 sensors in the area; g) take measurements with uncertainties not exceeding 1.5% of the measured values; h) be capable of checking photon/electron energy; i) be capable of performing Multi Leaf Collimator (MLC) checks.
