The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Medical has awarded an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract to Caromed Incorporated, a self-certified small disadvantaged and veteran-owned business, to provide a variety of medical supplies and equipment. The five-year contract, valued up to $2,400,000, allows DLA Troop Support Medical to issue delivery orders for items including women's undergarments, compression garments, and surgical items. As the agency responsible for worldwide logistics support for the Department of Defense, DLA utilizes this contract vehicle to efficiently meet its needs and support military readiness initiatives. The contract was awarded with a total small business set-aside designation, enabling DLA to meet its small business contracting goals. Caromed, headquartered in Allentown, Pennsylvania, will primarily fulfill delivery orders from its manufacturing facility in that location.
The delivery orders issued under this IDIQ contract cover a wide range of medical products such as first choice bras, post-augmentation bras, male compression vests, chin-neck garments, abdominoplasty garments, and other specialized items. Pricing for individual orders typically ranges from $47 to a few thousand dollars, with occasional larger orders exceeding $10,000. This contract supports DLA's Medical/Surgical Electronic Catalog (ECAT) program, which provides a streamlined procurement mechanism for a variety of medical supplies required by military personnel and their families.
