ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- MellingMedical, a trusted provider of medical supplies, equipment, devices, and pharmaceuticals to Federal health facilities, is proud to announce that it has been awarded a second contract with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Electronic Catalog (ECAT) program. This five-year contract (SPE2DE-24-D-0003) to supply medical/surgical products to the Department of Defense (DoD) and other Federal agencies will significantly improve access to essential medical and surgical supplies for health care practitioners at the DoD and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health facilities across the country. This new contract complements MellingMedical's previously awarded ECAT contract (SPE2DH-19-D-0018) to provide medical equipment along with its Federal Supply Schedule med/surg contract.

DLA's ECAT is an internet solution designed to streamline the procurement process and enhance the availability of crucial medical supplies for DoD, VA, and other Federal government health facilities. MellingMedical's successful award of this contract affirms its commitment to supporting our nation's active duty military and veterans, and the dedicated healthcare professionals who serve them.

MellingMedical's participation with ECAT benefits healthcare practitioners, but also offers unique advantages to medical/surgical product manufacturers who wish to sell to the DoD and VA, automating procurements and speeding up access to a wide variety of medical surgical products needed by the troops and our veterans.

In announcing this contract award, Chris Melling, President and founder of MellingMedical, stated, "We are honored to expand our offerings under the DoD ECAT program to include medical/surgical supplies. This contract underscores our dedication to supporting the troops and our veterans and improving access to vital medical supplies for Federal healthcare facilities. We are honored to deliver top-notch care to our nation's heroes."
