The Defense Health Agency awarded Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC) a Small Business Innovation Research Phase III contract valued at $989,287.40 on August 30, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of May 1, 2026. The contract, designated MTEC-24-09-AUTODOCALGORITHM-009, is structured as an Other Transaction Order and will be performed in Albuquerque, New Mexico. MTEC, a nonprofit medical technology accelerator based in Summerville, South Carolina, serves as a key federal partner for rapidly prototyping and fielding innovative medical solutions for military healthcare applications. This award carries no small business set-aside designation and leverages MTEC's established Other Transaction Indefinite Delivery Vehicle with the Defense Health Agency valued at $3.47 million, which enables flexible task order execution across the Department of Defense's medical technology modernization priorities.

MTEC executes its work through a collaborative consortium model that mobilizes partnerships with leading academic institutions, private sector medical device manufacturers, and biotechnology firms to translate cutting-edge research into practical prototypes addressing critical military personnel healthcare needs. The organization has demonstrated substantial federal contracting success, with a portfolio exceeding $500 million in prototype development, research and development, data analytics, and medical countermeasures supporting operational medicine, trauma care, regenerative medicine, infectious disease diagnostics, advanced wound care, wearable diagnostics, and austere environment medical capabilities. Through its Other Transaction Authority structure, MTEC provides federal agencies the flexibility to accelerate prototype development timelines and reduce procurement constraints typically associated with conventional contracting vehicles.
