Lovell, Micro-Tech partner to widen federal access to endoscopic devices

Lovell Government Services and Micro-Tech Endoscopy said July 23 they are partnering to expand access to advanced endoscopic devices across VA, Defense Department and Indian Health Service healthcare systems. The deal uses Lovell’s SDVOSB contracting channel to move Micro-Tech products toward federal procurement vehicles and speed access for clinicians treating veterans, service members and other federal patients.

Why it matters: - The partnership could make advanced endoscopic devices easier to buy for federal healthcare systems that serve veterans, active-duty service members and other beneficiaries. - The agreement is designed to support government procurement goals tied to SDVOSB vendors. - Faster access to these products may improve procedural efficiency in gastrointestinal, pulmonary and pediatric care.

What happened: - Lovell Government Services and Micro-Tech Endoscopy announced a partnership on July 23 to expand access to Micro-Tech technologies across federal healthcare systems. - The effort targets the Veterans Health Administration, Military Health System and Indian Health Service. - Lovell will serve as Micro-Tech Endoscopy’s Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business vendor. - The companies said the relationship will move Micro-Tech products through established government contracting channels.

The details: - The initial federal lineup includes the DuraClip Hemostasis Clip, Precisor BRONCHO Pulmonary Biopsy Forceps and Precisor EXL Pediatric Biopsy Forceps. - The products are intended for gastrointestinal hemostasis, pulmonary tissue sampling and pediatric gastrointestinal procedures. - Micro-Tech’s products are pending addition to the Department of Veterans Affairs Federal Supply Schedule, GSA Advantage, the Defense Logistics Agency’s Electronic Catalog and the Department of Defense Distribution and Pricing Agreement. - Once those vehicles are in place, the companies said the purchasing process should be simpler for agencies. - The contract pathways are also meant to help agencies meet SDVOSB procurement targets.

Between the lines: - The partnership gives Micro-Tech a federal-market entry point through Lovell’s veteran-owned contracting status. - For federal buyers, the arrangement may reduce friction between clinical demand and procurement access. - The move also positions Micro-Tech’s devices for broader visibility inside the VA and defense health systems.

What’s next: - Micro-Tech products are expected to be added to federal purchasing channels, including FSS, GSA Advantage, ECAT and DAPA. - Lovell said it will support Micro-Tech’s federal contracting strategy as those listings move forward. - Micro-Tech and Lovell will likely use the new access routes to expand adoption among federal clinicians.

The bottom line: - The deal links a medical device maker with an SDVOSB distributor to speed federal access to endoscopic technologies that can be used across veteran, military and Indian health care settings.
