The intent of this notice is to determine the availability of qualified business sources technically capable of providing a Forensic Science Gunshot Residue Calibration Kit with the following salient characteristics: Consists of two test specimens: one with synthetic gunshot residue (GSR) particles and one with synthetic particles for automated particle analysis via scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM/EDS). The gunshot residue test specimen is manufactured on a glassy carbon substrate with a size of 8 x 8mm with various sizes of synthetic particles containing Pb, Sb and Ba. The synthetic GSR particles with a size varying from 0.5 to 2.4 m are statistically distributed in an area of 7 x 7mm. Each SPS test specimen has been individually tested and comes with a certificate stating the exact number of Pb/Sb/Ba particles and their locations. The synthetic test specimen has 10 lines of particles with different sizes with 20 particles spaced equally per line. With the known particle sizes and positions this test specimen can be used to test and validate SEM/EDX systems used for automated particle analysis applications. This requirement is to purchase the above item for the United States Army Criminal Investigation Laboratory (USACIL), Fort Gillem, GA by 15 September 2014.
