About this award
This is a firm fixed-price delivery order awarded by the Department of the Air Force to Vaisala Inc., a foreign-owned, for-profit manufacturer of weather and environmental monitoring equipment. The $798,048.00 contract is for the delivery of dropsondes, which are expendable atmospheric sensors used for hurricane monitoring and weather data collection.
Vaisala has a history of providing radiosondes, ceilometers, lightning detection systems, wind sensors, and other meteorological instrumentation to support weather observation, forecasting, research, and climate monitoring activities for federal agencies like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and Department of Defense (DOD). This contract does not have a set-aside designation and is likely being executed through an existing Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle that Vaisala holds with NOAA and DOD, valued up to $48 million, to provide mini-dropwindsondes, radiosondes, and barometers through 2032.
