Spectrometer

Added: Aug 04, 2016 2:33 pm The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Lakehurst, NJ (NAWCADLKE) intends to award a firm fixed price contract for the manufacture and delivery of 65 atomic emission rotrode Spectrometers part number SPECTROIL M/N-W. In addition to the unit, logistics support documents (technical manual and provisioning data), initial consumables and Maintenance kits/parts will be acquired, on a sole source basis with Spectro Scientific, Inc. (Spectro), One Executive Drive, Suite 101, Chelmsford, MA 01824. An atomic emission rotrode Spectrometer is used for the detection of metal particulate contamination of oil samples from Navy and Marine Corps aircraft, support equipment and shipboard systems and is an essential capability of the Navy Oil Analysis Program (NOAP) Labs, approved as part of the Joint Oil Analysis Program (JOAP). The existing Spectro manufactured spectrometers, acquired over the past two decades, have multiple configurations and are experiencing parts obsolescence due to outdated technology that is no longer in production. The Spectrometers acquired under this acquisition will replace all existing units with a single configuration at shore and ship sites designated by the NOAP program office.
