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 Saint Cloud VA. 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, our specific patient identifier to VA patients. It also maintains functionality between other medical software programs such as our electronic medical records system (CPRS) and pharmacy medication administration systems (BCMA) installed at the VA and used in patient care.
