Tissue Processor Standardization Effort

The Defense Health Agency (DHA), Medical Logistics (MEDLOG), Medical Materiel Enterprise Standardization Office (MMESO), and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Medical Electronic Catalog (ECAT) Program collaborated to standardize Tissue Processors.  These Tissue Processors are for purchase by the Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs) of the Military Health System (MHS) and for the operational assemblages of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Naval Expeditionary Medical Support Command (NEMSCOM) and managed regionally by MMESOs North, South, West, Pacific and Europe, hereafter referred to as MMESOs. The MMESO North was the lead MMESO for this project.

The purpose of this Standardization Effort is to establish an ECAT contract for the Part Number chosen as the standardized Tissue Processor, in compliance with QSL FBO #MN-1509-52.  For internal administrative auditing purposes, the Government is establishing a new ECAT contract with a new contract number that includes only the Tissue Processor item.
