* Two

Step-by-step explanation:

- The minimum inventory level is 6 bottles.

- There are currently 5 bottles on the shelf.

- To reach the minimum level of 6 bottles, the technician needs to order 6 - 5 = 1 more bottle.

- However, the maximum inventory level is 12 bottles.

- With 5 bottles currently on the shelf, the technician can order up to 12 - 5 = 7 more bottles.

- Therefore, to reach the minimum level of 6 without exceeding the maximum of 12, the technician should order 2 bottles.
