With reference to the aforementioned subject, Agility Defense & Government Services said today that the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) awarded it a contract for warehouse and distribution services at the Defense Distribution Center, Kuwait/Southwest Asia (DDKS).

Under the contract, Agility DGS, a leading global provider of supply chain solutions, will continue to provide DLA with a complete warehouse management system using its extensive facilities in Kuwait.
