At this time, no solicitation exists.

Each quadrant contains a mounted 42" plasma screen and a laptop with wireless keyboard and mouse, on which an IT application is demonstrated and projected to the plasma screen.

Also, within the 20' x 20', there is an area with a high-suspended 50" plasma screen used to display a looped video or flash feature, which will be provided by VHA.
