How to bid on Hanger 2 Electronic Acoustics Systems for the DEPT of Defense

What the Air Force is buying

The US Air Force needs a contractor to replace an acoustics system in a rehearsal studio at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, Washington, DC. This involves removing the current LARES system, including about 84 loudspeakers, cabling, and hardware.

The contractor will then design and install an L-Acoustics Ambiance simulated acoustics system. This includes providing detailed drawings, equipment lists, wiring schematics, and timelines for government approval. The project also requires a two-year on-site installation warranty and technical support.
