MedClean Technologies and Bear Consulting Partner to Target 1,600-Plus VA Facilities

BETHEL, Conn., July 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MedClean Technologies (OTC Bulletin Board: MCLN), the leading provider of on-site technology for the treatment and disposal of medical waste and the destruction of confidential documents and related media, today announced it has signed a Partnership Agreement with Bear Consulting aimed at implementing an expense reduction program that could save the Federal Government more than $100 million over the next decade.  The partnership enables Bear Consulting to sell and deliver MedClean's onsite technology for medical waste treatment and confidential document destruction to the United States Veterans Administration Health Care System, consisting of 1,629 facilities.

Bear Consulting, winner of the 2001 Northern California Supplier of the Year Award from the Northern California Supplier Development Council (NCSDC), is classified as a Veteran Owned Business Enterprise (VOBE) and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), a designation that streamlines bidding efforts and enables Bear to compete and win government contracts that would otherwise be awarded to large enterprises. These SBA programs enable small business to compete against larger business on an even footing. With this agreement, Bear is expanding and reenergizing their government work through managing principal, Mike Gastellum, who has a 35 year background in operations and service management. In addition, Mr. Gastellum has spent the past five years in the medical waste management and disposal business including his current role at Barnett Medical Services.  Mr. Gastellum, a 2001 Presidential Award Recipient, will serve as the focal point providing expert representation and selling of the full line of MedClean products and services to the VA health care network.

"Bear Consulting will offer MedClean's on-site medical waste treatment, disposal and document destruction technology to the VA Hospital network," commented David Laky, President and CEO, MedClean Technologies, Inc. "Our program has the potential to provide more than $100 million in savings to the system over the next decade. This alliance expands MedClean's partner network providing direct access to 1,629 VA Hospitals and other government entities requiring medical waste disposal and confidential document destruction technology and services.  By partnering with Bear Consulting, an award-winning government provider, we expect to greatly reduce the company's time to market so that we can provide compelling value to the Federal Government, our veterans, and those that serve this community."  

"After careful consideration we are certain that we chose the best in team and technology when partnering with MedClean Technology medical waste treatment and document destruction solutions," commented Mr. Gastellum. "We are excited to support our government by offering VA facilities an onsite medical waste treatment and disposal technology that will improve efficiencies and fix costs over 10 years while enabling significant cost reduction and simultaneously protecting the environment. More importantly, VA Hospital clients will be able to take control of, and know what their medical waste costs will be for the foreseeable future, resulting in significant savings and improved control. We will immediately begin to introduce the MedClean product line to our customers and the extensive network of 1,629 VA facilities with the goal of expanding our government footprint through this product line extension."
