Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:

The NWIHCS Dermatology Section needs a new full-body phototherapy unit for patient care services. NWIHCS Dermatology has no phototherapy care capacity. Phototherapy is used to treat cutaneous lymphoma and numerous inflammatory dermatoses. NWIHCS expects an influx of PACT Act veterans requiring Dermatology services over the next several years, and phototherapy units are cost-effective way to mitigate multiple dermatoses. At this time, all patients requiring phototherapy are either sent to Care in the Community affiliate institutions or put on costly medications such as adlimumab or ustekinumab. NAME BRAND ONLY.

Estimated Amount:$21,5000

Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:
