The positioning system must be extremely precise and not interfere with the imaging equipment used to place the stimulator. This is the only positioner known to either this VA or the Surgeons who will conduct these procedures. 6.Description of Efforts Made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as deemed practicable: An internet search was conducted using the following terms: a.Deep Brain Stimulation positioner b.Deep Brain Stimulation positioning c.Deep Brain Stimulation equipment None of the searches identified any positioner options within the first two search pages.

Equipment was posted on GSA eBuy with zero responses. 11.A Statement of the Actions, if any, the Agency May Take to Remove or Overcome any Barriers to Competition before Making subsequent acquisitions for the supplies or services required: DBS is still a new technology with limited suppliers. As the practice becomes more common and equipment more available, VAAAHS will consider other equipment options. 12.Requirements Certification: I certify that the requirement outlined in this justification is a Bona Fide Need of the Department of Veterans Affairs and that the supporting data under my cognizance, which are included in the justification, are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
