Best Value Purchasing

Products are sourced based on price, delivery time, and overall value to ensure every purchase delivers maximum return on investment.

Streamlined Procurement

Enjoy the convenience of buying directly from trusted suppliers while benefiting from volume discount pricing through a centralized procurement system. ECAT combines the ease of purchasing from local vendors with the savings of central procurement-leveraging the purchasing volume of multiple agencies to secure pricing that individual orders typically can't access.

End-to-End Order Tracking

Stay informed at every stage - from order submission to final delivery. Track status updates, shipping dates, tracking numbers, and monitor invoice and payment progress, all in one place.

Total Delivered Price

Know the full cost upfront - all transportation and administrative fees are included. No hidden charges, just clear and complete pricing for every order.

Best-In-Class Contract

Recognized by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for meeting rigorous category management performance standards-ensuring quality, accountability, and value.

MILSBILLS Payment System

Leverages the Military Standard Billing System (MILSBILLS), the same system used by the Department of Defense. This ensures secure, efficient transactions without relying on Government Purchase Cards.
