About this award

The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) awarded a purchase order to Hunter Associates Laboratory Incorporated on September 23, 2026, for one Aeros Reflectance Spectrophotometer and one Sample Handling Package for Chips, totaling $22,335.00. The procurement was conducted on a sole-source basis; FSIS determined Hunter Associates Laboratory the only reasonably available source to satisfy the requirement. The equipment—an automated color measurement system for assaying potato chip quality—will be delivered to Reston, Virginia, with a performance completion date of November 4, 2026. The spectrophotometer provides non-contact area measurement for larger samples, includes automated averaging, adjusts height position to reduce operator bias, and features embedded data analysis software and advanced communication capabilities. This equipment will operate in tandem with another laboratory conducting parallel national trials, requiring consistent data comparison between the two processing locations.
