The US Army Contracting Command-Redstone Services & IT Solution Branch, plans to obtain information to serve as market research to help identify potential sources that can provide four (4) Fluke Fixed Point Cells, models: 5904 (Indium), 5905 (Tin), 5906 (Zinc), 5907 (Aluminum) with 9114 Cell Support Containers. These cells are one of the primary components for resistance thermometry calibrations of Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometers (SPRTs) in accordance with the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90): these cells are defining points of temperature for subranges greater than the Triple Point of Water. The cells are the only cells currently able to satisfy the Temperature Lab’s requirements in terms of purity, design, and compatibility with current processes, calibration methods, and uncertainty budgets. They are specifically designed to be used in the Fluke 9114-156 metrology furnaces currently in use at the Army Primary Standards Laboratory (APSL).
