Federal Color 11350 (Red) available?

2004

I work for the Panama Canal Authority (previously the Panama Canal Commission, a federal agency). I want to know if the federal color 11350 (red) is no longer registered in the Federal Standard 595. We still use the standard for our construction specifications and one of our contractors insists that the code is out of date. Can you assist me in this matter

Thanks

Ricaurte, the 11350 is in my copy of Fed-Std-595 B revision, dated 15 December 1989. I don't know if it is in the B(1) revision, of 11 January 1994, which is the latest revision: I don't have a copy of the update. It's a pretty red, too -- my favorite of those on that page.
