NIST seeks sources for AAC and CPMA instruments.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) seeks sources for an Aerodynamic Aerosol Classifier (AAC) and a Centrifugal Particle Mass Analyzer (CPMA) for its Gaithersburg, MD facility. The AAC must classify particles by aerodynamic diameter from 10 nm to 10 μm, and the CPMA must measure particle mass from 10 ag to 100 fg. This is a sources-sought notice for market research; no solicitation is issued. Vendors must demonstrate capability to supply these specialized instruments. The NAICS code is 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing).
