Description: The Great Lakes Acquisition Center (GLAC) intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Cannon Equipment Company of Cannon Falls, MN for rolling security cart cages for Pharmacy. These cages are part of an existing Pharmaceutical Cache System and are replacements for broken carts and addition carts for new sites.
