Cold Food Station (Salad Bar). Qty. 4

? Requirement Summary The VTS Dining Facility is replacing four Galley model 9650/5053-05 salad bar units, which are no longer serviceable and do not meet current standards for food safety or operational efficiency.

Each unit must be approximately 72" in length, capable of holding at least five full-size pans, and accessible from both sides to support simultaneous self-service.
