E-MAIL: Stephanie Parker, stephanie.parker@fhwa.dot.gov. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) plans to award a Purchase Order to Labsphere,Inc. to build a Bispectral Fluorescent Colorimeter -- #BFC-450. This instrument will provide a bispectral array of photometric data which provides a quantitative description of the radiation transfer properties of the sample as a function of both illumination (excitation) and viewing (emission) wavelengths. The Bispectral Fluorescent Colorimeter will consist of two separate monochromators and will perform operations using an illumination/viewing geometry of 0 degrees/45degrees or 45 degrees/0 degrees for appearance application analysis. The Colorimeter must have double monochromators to provide both illumination and viewing wavelengths and it must be quantitative to provide accurate measurement of appearance. The Bispectral Fluorescent Colorimeter -- #BFC-450 manufactured by Labsphere, Inc. is the only Colorimeter found to meet our specifications. This is a Simplified Acquisition and the anticipated award date is January 4, 1999. Posted 12/18/98 (D-SN281887). (0352)
