Availablity

DTRIAC services are available to all U.S. Government agencies and their contractors having a need-to-know. Contractors must be certified by their government contract sponsor and registered with Defense Logistics Information Service (DLIS) to receive export-controlled data. If you need to contact us, you must be with the U.S. government, have a DLIS number, or have the permission of DTRA.


Visiting DTRIAC

A visit will be most productive if planned. Members of DoD or DOE should contact DTRIAC directly. Government contractors should call their contracting officers to coordinate a visit. All other visits require DTRA approval in advance. Be sure to specify your technical query, issue or problem and type of assistance desired in advance of your visit.
