German term or phrase: bezogen über
"Dimethylsulfoxid (DMSO) wird bei Raumtemperatur (15°C bis 25°C) in 1 l Glasgebinden gelagert (Identnummer 123, bezogen über ABC GmbH)."

I am totally confused by the use of "über" after the word "bezogen" in this sentence. Is it a mistake, or does it actually have some special meaning? TIA for your help.

Ah, OK. Many thanks everyone. I can only give one person the points (in this case, the answer that was fastest and received the most "agrees" gets 'em), but I will put one of Alan's suggestions in the glossary too. Thanks once again - appreciate everyone's help.
