/EIN News/ -- Michigan, April 07, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Michigan-based Alliant Healthcare Products has been awarded a Laboratory ECAT contract by the Defense Logistics Agency valued at $43,750,000 over 5 years. The ECAT contract is an online source (electronic catalog) for laboratory-specific medical research products, and acts as one of the preferred purchasing sources for the Department of Defense and the Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare system. Alliant Healthcare will work in conjunction with Olympus Life Sciences to provide ECAT customers with state-of-the-art microscopes and accessories, as well as other laboratory products.
“As a veteran-owned company, we strive to serve those who are actively working to protect our country,” said Eric Albery, President of Alliant Healthcare. “As a result of this contract, our partnership with Olympus and our ability to better serve our government customers becomes stronger.

ECAT is largely used by Department of Defense customers (including Army, Navy, Airforce, etc.), however, in 2018 the VA healthcare system began using ECAT as well. The program is a complementary acquisition strategy allowing government customers to browse, compare, and order a wide range of products.
