American Medical Depot Awards Transportation Contract to SDVOSB Magellan Transport Logistics

MIRAMAR, Fla. - Oct. 1, 2019 - PRLog -- American Medical Depot (AMD) is excited to announce its new contract award to Magellan Transport Logistics for transportation services. Magellan is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) that has efficiently moved freight for over a decade. The contract award covers all VA facilities in VISNs 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6.

The contract award results in the "Multiplier Effect" powered by a Veteran small business networking event conducted by the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU), Direct Access Program (DAP). AMD developed a profile of companies the VA vetted and invited to these meetings, and submitted a list of companies to Magellan. Magellan then interviewed these firms and set up eligible companies on their daily email blasts where the companies have visibility to 200-400 non-dedicated transportation bid opportunities per day. This is the Multiplier Effect!

This partnership supports American Medical Depot's ongoing work towards creating more value in the VA MSPV-NG Supply Chain, specifically in the form of faster delivery and optimal supply chain management. Magellan and AMD's next generation technology makes freight management seamless, and simplifies the tracking of measurable key performance indicators.

"We are excited to work with Magellan Transport Logistics. They have the depth and breadth to ensure we are delivering on our commitments to customers," said American Medical Depot Chief Executive Officer, Sukrit Agrawal.
