The Belintra system has the ability to meet the above listed standards and specifications as supported by the following information listed in the characteristics and market research sections of this justification.

Estimated total value at $ .

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The Belintra storage system utilizes wrapped or rigid container surgical trays and single peel packaged instruments eliminating potential compromising of the sterile packaging from dragging, sliding, crushing, bending, compressing, or puncturing. Belintra provides dedicated shelving that follows the instrument set from beginning of sterile process to end of process.

These characteristics of the Belintra storage system allows for approxiamately 75% more storage space and eliminates the stacking of instrument sets that improves the ergonomic, safety, and work process of employees. System track is designed off the ground and at the top of the system allowing easier access for cleaning that is crucial to the sterile environment and processes necessary of the system.
