The contract, part of the Defense Logistics Agency’s electronic catalog system, expands VA and DoD access to critical hospital and surgical tools.
Lovell Government Services, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business, has been awarded a Hospital ECAT (electronic catalog) contract by the Defense Logistics Agency, expanding its ability to deliver medical and surgical equipment to federal healthcare agencies, including the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Department of Defense (DoD).
The ECAT contract, which provides a web-based ordering platform for government buyers, is designed to streamline the acquisition of medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and supplies. With the award, Lovell will supply a range of patient-ready tools used in both routine care and emergency response.
“Securing a Hospital ECAT contract is a major step forward in our mission to serve those who serve,” says Chris Lovell, CEO of Lovell Government Services, in a release. “This award allows us to rapidly equip federal providers with the reliable tools they need, whether at a VA hospital, DoD facility, or in response to an emergency deployment.”
Under the contract, federal purchasers will gain simplified access to equipment across two divisions:
- Hospital Supply Division equipment includes:
- Examination and surgical tables
- Hospital beds, chairs, and stretchers
- Laboratory analyzers
- Medical refrigerators and storage systems
- Repair parts, litters, sterilizers
- Ophthalmic, dental, and medical simulation equipment
- Capital Equipment Division offerings include:
- Pulse oximeters, aspirators, infusion pumps
- Suction apparatus and resuscitators
- Medical lasers and digital dental X-ray systems
- Robotic surgery systems
Lovell’s participation in the ECAT program supports federal procurement goals while providing agencies with access to products through a service-disabled veteran-owned small business. The company says the contract will help ensure essential medical tools are accessible to providers when and where they are needed most.
