ETS is one of three firms that was awarded an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ), cost-plus-fixed-fee contract for technical and maintenance services for automated tank gauging, automated fuel service stations, and automated fuel handling equipment (AFHE).

Work will be performed by ETS' Tulsa office throughout the contiguous U.S., the Pacific area (including Alaska and Hawaii), and Europe and is expected to be completed by July 2015.
