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)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.bose.com/controller?event=VIEW_PRODUCT_PAGE_EVENT&amp;amp;product=ls38_dvd_index"&gt;Bose Lifestyle 38 DVD Home Theater System&lt;/a&gt; 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&lt;a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/4566-6740_7-0.html"&gt; several systems on the market&lt;/a&gt; with similar capabilities for literally thousands of dollars less (some of them at under $500 are even rated higher).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The RFQ was posted today on several websites and is scheduled to close on March 02, 2007 with delivery to be within 21 days.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6137378389098240712-2603657128581402523?l=notwithmydollar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://notwithmydollar.blogspot.com/feeds/2603657128581402523/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6137378389098240712&amp;postID=2603657128581402523' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6137378389098240712/posts/default/2603657128581402523'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6137378389098240712/posts/default/2603657128581402523'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://notwithmydollar.blogspot.com/2007/02/who-needs-3000-home-theater-system-ill.html' title='Who needs a $3000 Home Theater System - I&apos;ll Take Two (or so Says the State Department)'/><author><name>James Childers - iQBio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16479533292440588296</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
