Agfa's efforts to land purchase orders under the military's Digital Imaging Networking-Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (DIN-PACS) contract are gaining momentum. The MIL-PACS team has received a $7.8 million purchase order from Womack Army Medical Center in Fort Bragg, NC, a 1-million-square-foot facility currently under construction. The deal is the largest order yet for the Agfa consortium, which has received awards totaling over $14 million under the contract (PNN 3/99).
Equipment is set to arrive at the site by June 15, with an installation date expected by Sept. 15, according to the Ridgefield Park, NJ-based company. Womack is scheduled to open in October.
