1/23/24, 7:34 AM Medical Gas Electronic Catalog (ECAT) Program - Consolidation
The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical has issued a Special Notice for the consolidation of the Medical Gas Electronic Catalog (ECAT) Program. The ECAT Program is a procurement vehicle used to streamline the acquisition of medical gas products for the federal government.
The purpose of this consolidation is to establish a single indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle for all medical gas requirements across the government, rather than having multiple individual contracts. This is expected to provide increased efficiencies, economies of scale, and improved supply chain visibility. The Special Notice does not provide any specific response dates, award dates, pricing terms, or set-aside requirements. The applicable NAICS code is 325120 - Industrial Gas Manufacturing, and the PSC is 6835-P - Medical Gases.
