Purchase Order 6973GH26P00432

Vaisala Inc., a Louisville, Colorado-based manufacturer of specialized meteorological and environmental monitoring equipment, was awarded a purchase order valued at $11,300 by a civilian federal agency on November 25, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of January 9, 2026. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, covers assets in support of the National Airspace System (NAS) and will be performed in Superior, Colorado. As a firm fixed-price contract, this purchase order represents a discrete procurement for specialized weather or atmospheric monitoring equipment consistent with Vaisala's core product portfolio, which includes radiosondes, ceilometers, wind sensors, and atmospheric profilers used across federal agencies including NOAA, FAA, DOD, and NASA.

This award is classified as a child contract, likely issued under one of Vaisala's existing Indefinite Delivery Vehicles with federal agencies. Vaisala maintains several significant IDVs, including substantial agreements with NOAA for mini-dropwindsondes, ASOS barometers, and ceilometers, many of which are issued through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule. The relatively modest contract value of approximately $11.3K suggests a focused task order for replacement equipment or components to support ongoing National Airspace System operations and weather observation infrastructure. As a foreign-owned, for-profit entity, Vaisala has established itself as a critical supplier of precision meteorological instrumentation to support U.S. weather forecasting, research, and aviation safety operations.
