The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation awarded a delivery order to Inchcape Shipping Services Dubai LLC, a foreign-owned maritime and logistics services provider headquartered in the United Arab Emirates, for industrial gas supply operations supporting U.S. military operations in the Central Command region. This fixed-price redetermination delivery order, valued at approximately $59.8K, was awarded on December 11, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of the same day, and will be performed in the United Arab Emirates. The award was made without set-aside designation, reflecting the contractor's status as a large business competing in the unrestricted federal marketplace. This delivery order is issued under Inchcape's existing indefinite delivery contract with DLA Aviation, valued at $11.8M and running through January 2029, which authorizes the supply of compressed and liquefied industrial gases including oxygen, nitrogen, argon, helium, and other specialty gases delivered to military installations throughout the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility.

Inchcape Shipping Services has established itself as a critical supplier for U.S. military logistics requirements, with a diversified portfolio spanning both port husbanding services for naval vessel operations and industrial gas logistics. The company's DLA Aviation contract encompasses comprehensive logistics responsibilities including delivery of filled cylinders, retrieval of empty cylinders, cylinder maintenance and servicing, and disposal of unserviceable equipment across multiple countries in the Middle East region. Individual delivery orders under the DLA Aviation vehicle have ranged from under $200 to over $108K, demonstrating sustained demand for the contractor's specialized logistics and supply chain management capabilities in support of military aviation operations and equipment maintenance throughout CENTCOM.
