In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack of competition is as follows: The Leksell is the only frame available to facilitate all intracranial sterotactic neurosurgery procedures including deep brain stimulation. The neuro spine surgeons are trained to use this system and using another product would require him or her to do a year of training which includes both in-class, hands on training and trials before he or she can use the product to operate on a patient. If these items are not used, the patients will have to be treated off base at a substantial duplication of cost of approximately $105,000.00.
