  • Contract Summary

    The University has a requirement for a human-portable field spectrometer, which must be capable of taking high resolution transmission and reflectance measurements, capable of achieving exceptional signal-to-noise ratios in challenging conditions, be suitable for use in extreme and inclement conditions (such as in tropical forest canopies) and be compatible with PRO-SAIL and FORMIND analytical models, and generate data which is compatible/comparable with Spectral-Evolution product generated data. On the basis of ensuring comparability with pre-existing tools and software models in the University estate we deem that competition is absent as acquisition of other products would have different technical characteristics and result in incompatibility and disproportionate technical difficulty in operation. We therefore direct award as follows.
