NOTICE OF FOODSERVICE EQUIPMENT NATIONAL PURCHASING AGREEMENT PROGRAM SPECIAL NOTICE SUBJECT: Notice of Foodservice Equipment National Purchasing Agreements Program DESCRIPTION: This notice announces DISC-V's intention to enter into long term commercial agreements with suppliers of foodservice equipment (FSE) in an effort to support DoD and other Federally sponsored FSE users worldwide.

It must be willing to use innovative techniques to support DISC's customers. 5.
