Definitive Contract FA822824C0004

The Department of the Air Force awarded a firm-fixed-price definitive contract to Vaisala Inc., a foreign-owned, for-profit manufacturer of specialized weather and environmental monitoring equipment, to provide a multi-channel sounding receiver system. The $337,942.50 contract has a completion date of May 3, 2024 and does not have a set-aside designation. The original solicitation was for a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) to provide a multi-channel receiver system, power supplies, antennas, and other equipment along with related services such as packaging, inspection, and delivery. Vaisala likely received this award based on its extensive experience providing meteorological instrumentation and support to federal agencies like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and Department of Defense (DOD) through both prime and subcontract vehicles.
