- The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) / Defense Supply Center Richmond (DSCR) is preparing a follow-on contract for industrial compressed and liquefied gas support to U.S. Military forces and Government agencies in Europe.

Sources are sought for a one-year contract (and potentially four, one-year option periods) that will provide industrial compressed and liquefied gases to support U.S. Military forces conducting operations throughout Europe.
