Lovell Government Services Partners with Medline to Bring UNITE Foot & Ankle Implant Portfolio to U.S. Government Entities
Medline UNITE products are now available on ECAT System under Lovell’s Just in Time (JIT) ECAT Contract
PENSACOLA, FL. – August 17, 2022 /OrthoSpineNews/ – Lovell Government Services (Lovell), a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and trusted federal vendor since 2013, today announced the addition of the Medline UNITE catalog of foot & ankle implants to the Defense Logistics Agency’s (DLA) electronic cataloging (ECAT) system. ECAT is a web-based catalog that grants the Department of Defense (DoD) and other Federal agencies, such as the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), convenient access to a wide range of medical-surgical catalogs.
“Lovell is honored to work with Medline to assist with ECAT access. This distribution partnership gives VA and DoD Surgeons yet another way to procure Medline UNITE’s intuitive implant systems to help treat their patients,” said Chris Lovell, Major (Ret.) USMC and Chief Executive Officer of Lovell Government Services. “Our work gives government customers the dual benefit of access to a cutting-edge portfolio of surgical solutions on the ECAT “Just in Time” (JIT) contract and the ability to work towards their SDVOSB procurement goals. This is a win-win for everyone.”
Medline’s ongoing collaboration with leading surgeons in the field of foot & ankle trauma and reconstruction has led to the development and commercialization of numerous surgical innovations. The addition of Medline UNITE products to ECAT is significant because it opens a new procurement channel for government customers, especially those working with orders that exceed credit card limits or are time-sensitive.
“The addition of our innovative foot & ankle solutions to Lovell’s ECAT contract gives U.S. Federal agencies access to our complete offering and helps expedite delivery while providing additional financing options,” said Scott Goldstein, Director of Marketing at Medline. “Our goal with UNITE is to create intelligently designed implants and instruments that solve previously unmet needs while advancing surgical efficiency and clinical performance. Expanding access to these solutions will mean that we are able to help even more patients with our innovative solutions, which is our organization’s overarching objective.”
