Purchase Order 1333ND24PNB680291

This is a small business set-aside federal contract awarded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a civilian agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce, to Bristol Instruments Inc. for a dual-channel wavelength meter. The $52,362.00 firm-fixed-price purchase order is for a device that can measure wavelengths between 1050 nm and 2150 nm, operate on 120V power, and have fiber-coupled connections with USB interface. Key requirements include an accuracy better than 300 MHz and a measurement rate of at least 100 Hz. The meter will support NIST's mid-infrared spectroscopy research efforts. Bristol Instruments has previously provided specialized optical measurement equipment, such as wavelength meters and spectrum analyzers, to NIST as well as other civilian agencies like NASA and defense organizations through prime contracts and subcontracts.
