Try Justifying this Expense:
The US State Department in Phnom Phen (U.S Embassy Phnom Penh 1 St. 96 Phnom Penh Cambodia) is requesting bids to purchase two $3000 BOSE Lifestyle 38 Home Theater Systems. The solicitation number is T-0649, is listed under the category of "Facilities Equipment-General", and was issued by the Department of State in Washington DC today (February 28th, 2007)
The Bose Lifestyle 38 DVD Home Theater System is among the best that money can buy, and it appears money is no object for government officials buying with American tax dollars. Never mind that there are several systems on the market with similar capabilities for literally thousands of dollars less (some of them at under $500 are even rated higher).
The RFQ was posted today on several websites and is scheduled to close on March 02, 2007 with delivery to be within 21 days.
