Food service ovens may have complex, computer-based controls allowing a wide variety of operating modes. They may be freestanding or countertop units.

The Contractor must demonstrate the ability to meet all requirements for the solicitation. The objective is to provide Combi Oven to be used by cooks within the VA medical centers and facilities, Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS).
