Title: Sources Sought Notice for Handheld Color and Gloss Spectrophotometer

The purpose of this sources sought notice is to conduct market research and identify potential sources of commercial products/services that satisfy the Government-s anticipated needs.

BACKGROUND

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Engineering Laboratory Infrastructure Materials Group (IMG) conducts research to predict performance of conventional and innovative materials, components, and systems composing US buildings and infrastructure throughout the service life. A fundamental understanding of the performance properties and the degradation mechanisms of infrastructure materials when exposed to intended (real world) or accelerated (laboratory) loading environments is the foundation of this effort.

For polymeric systems, including coatings, plastics, photovoltaic (PV) system, fibers, and composites, color and gloss are key parameters for monitoring performance under stress. The
