Purchase Order 6973GH26P00729

Vaisala Inc., a meteorological and environmental monitoring equipment manufacturer headquartered in Louisville, Colorado, was awarded a purchase order by a civilian federal agency on January 9, 2026, for assets in support of the National Airspace System. The contract, which is not set-aside designated, carries a ceiling value of $12,136.74 with a firm fixed-price structure and an ultimate completion date of February 13, 2026. Performance will occur at Vaisala's Superior, Colorado location. This award is classified as a child contract, indicating it likely falls under one of Vaisala's existing indefinite delivery vehicles, such as the company's NOAA-held blanket purchase agreements and indefinite delivery contracts valued collectively at approximately $51.3 million through 2029.

Vaisala serves as a prime contractor to multiple federal agencies including NOAA, the FAA, and the Department of Defense, providing advanced atmospheric monitoring equipment essential to U.S. government weather forecasting, aviation safety, and climate research operations. The company specializes in manufacturing radiosondes, ceilometers, wind sensors, barometric pressure sensors, and automated weather stations. Under this purchase order, Vaisala will deliver equipment supporting the National Airspace System, which coordinates air traffic control and flight operations across the United States. Given Vaisala's core product portfolio and existing relationships with aviation-focused agencies, the contract likely involves delivery of meteorological instrumentation or replacement sensors used in the FAA's observing network infrastructure.
