Expeditionary Barrier System (EBS) - 18 NSNs

DLA Troop Support is requesting information from sources of supply for a requirement for an Expeditionary Barrier System (EBS), designed for use in expedient force protection barrier construction for expeditionary and austere environments. The barriers are commonly used to protect troops in conflicts around the world. There are eighteen (18) EBS of various dimensions. The EBS are available in nine (9) different sizes and the color options are beige or green.
