ECAT is a web-based system that grants the Department of Defense (DoD) and other Federal agencies, such as Veterans Affairs (VA), convenient access to a wide range of medical-surgical catalogs. With ECAT, government customers can be confident they are ordering vetted products at the best price. BVI\u2019s addition to ECAT is significant because it opens a new procurement channel for government customers, especially those looking to place orders that exceed credit card limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ECAT addition is made possible by BVI\u2019s federal distribution partner, Lovell Government Services. Customers can find BVI\u2019s compliant products through Lovell\u2019s ECAT Contract # SPE2DE-21-D-0013 as well as VA FSS Contract # V797D \u2013 50450 and DAPA Contract # SP0200-16-H-0011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBVI Medical and Lovell Government Services entered into a strategic partnership in 2020 to streamline the procurement of BVI products within Government facilities. We are excited that now, BVI\u2019s high quality ophthalmic products lines in cataract, refractive, retina, glaucoma and dry eye markets are more readily available through Lovell\u2019s government contract vehicles and ECAT system. BVI takes pride in improving the ease in which our customers can acquire our products and provide the best surgical care for our patients.\u201d Darin Dixon, Vice President North America Commercial<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLovell is very happy to partner with BVI to bring their incredible ophthalmic medical technology to VA Medical Centers and DoD facilities.
