The Department of Veterans Affairs Mid Atlantic Health Care Network (VISN 6) intends to negotiate a sole source commercial item procurement with JW Manny Inc for an Eckel audio booth. This proposed procurement is for a low-profile audio booth that meets ADA standards and is required because of the structural design of the floors. This booth also provides a cam-lock installation that allows for the ability to disassemble and move the booth if necessary.
