66 -- INSTRUMENTS AND LABORATORY EQUIPMENT SOL 53SBNB7C1083 DUE 031197 POC Contracting Officer, Pauline E. Mallgrave -- (301) 975-6330, Contract Specialist, Tamara Grinspon -- (301) 975-4390 WEB: NIST Contracts Homepage, http://www.nist.gov/admin/od/contract/contract.htm. E-MAIL: NIST Contracts Office, Contract@nist.gov. Correction: This action, originally publicized in the CBD dated 2/24/97, is further clarified as follows: The "inner" and "outer" sheath may in fact be one and the same. Designs that use single layer sheaths and designs that use double layer sheaths are both acceptable. For a single layer sheath, the material must be platinum or platinum alloy. For a double layer sheath, only the inner layer must be made of platinum, while the outer layer may be made from some other metal alloy, not necessarily platinum. All other information publicized in the original synopsis is correct.**** (0059)
