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

BioPoint Software is a comprehensive patient identification software that is already being used at the Grand Island and Omaha VAs. This is to update the current software and maintain functionality of this system within the facility. The BioPoint software was developed specifically for the Department of Veterans Affairs and VA patient ID requirements. It is the only system that has the ability to hide the patient’s Social Security Number, VA’s specific patient identifier to VA patients. It also maintains functionality between other medical software programs such as VA’s electronic medical records system (CPRS) and pharmacy medication systems (BCMA) installed at the VA and used in patient care. This is a Brand Name only justification for BioPoint software.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:

VetBiz was searched using NAICS 511210 – 455 results were returned. BioPoint Software is on GSA from the manufacturer, Bio-Optronics, Inc. It is also available through their small business authorized distributor, Four Points Technology, Inc (SDVOSB). This procurement will be a Brand Name only, Open Market, Small Business set -aside to increase competition.
