DeBakey VA Medical Center is seeking information about the capabilities of potential third party companies to furnish the following: Nature and/or Description of the Action Being Processed: This is a contract for the purchase of TheraSphere Y-90 OBL 3. Description of Supplies/Services Required to Meet the Agency s Needs: 1. TheraSphere ® 3 GBq, 5 GBq, 7 GBq, 10 GBq, 15 GBq and 20 GBq at Calibration date and time (also available by special order in half or full GBq dose sizes within the 3GBq 20 GBq range) FOR ONE BASE (12 MONTHS) AND FOUR (12 MONTH) OPTION YEARS 15 EA   15 Items TheraSphere ® Y glass microspheres are specifically engineered to carry far greater power than any other Y liver-directed cancer therapy, delivering high doses of radiation to liver tumors while sparing normal tissue. The result is a powerfully-targeted, well-tolerated therapy that may lead to patients becoming eligible for curative therapies. TheraSphere ® is used in transarterial radioembolization (TARE), also known as selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT), a procedure in which glass microspheres containing radioactive Y are delivered to the tumor vasculature via transfemoral catheterization of the hepatic artery. TheraSphere ® capitalizes on the uniquely organized dual blood supply to the liver, which occurs through the hepatic artery and the portal vein. In liver cancer, tumor blood supply is almost exclusively (80 100%) from the hepatic artery. In contrast, normal liver tissue receives most of its blood flow (75%) from the portal vein. TheraSphere ® glass microspheres are minimally embolic and do not occlude macrovessels. Since vessel patency is maintained, subsequent arterial therapies are possible. TheraSphere ® microspheres penetrate and lodge within the tumor arteriolar capillaries, where they emit lethal beta radiation that is localized to the surrounding tumor tissue. The targeted distribution of microspheres optimizes dose exposure to the tumor while sparing normal tissue. The MEDVAMC is defined as the main location at 2002 Holcombe Blvd, Houston Texas, 77030, and all current and future community based outpatient clinics in the Houston Area. The current CBOC Clinics are located in Texas City, Galveston, Richmond, Lufkin, Beaumont, Katy, Tomball Conroe and Lake Jackson all in the state of Texas.
