3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The Steris Endoscope and Drying Cabinet is currently being used by the facility. There is limited space next to the existing Drying Rack, by using the companion Steris cabinet the SPS will be able to maximize the space provided and the facility can place more scopes for sterilization in the same location. Steris also has specific features and accessories like tubing sets and connectors that are necessary for this cabinet and are compatable their drying cabinet that VAMC Reno currently uses. Additionally, the Steris accessories for the Drying Cabinet are reusable
