Vaisala Inc., a foreign-owned meteorological and environmental monitoring equipment manufacturer based in Superior, Colorado, was awarded a $32,704 firm fixed-price purchase order by a civilian federal agency for assets in support of the National Airspace System (NAS). The contract, which was not set-aside designated, carries an ultimate completion date of May 29, 2026, and represents a child contract under a larger vehicle. This award aligns with Vaisala's established role as a primary supplier of specialized atmospheric monitoring instrumentation, including radiosondes, ceilometers, barometric pressure sensors, and wind sensors that are critical to federal weather observation and aviation safety operations.

The award reflects Vaisala's extensive engagement with multiple federal agencies through various contract vehicles. The company maintains three primary Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contracts with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration valued at approximately $51.3 million collectively, which procure equipment such as barometer sensors for Automated Surface Observing Systems and ceilometers for weather observation infrastructure. Through these vehicles and direct purchase orders like the present award, Vaisala supplies essential meteorological equipment to NOAA, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Department of Defense, and other federal agencies supporting critical weather forecasting, aviation safety, and climate research infrastructure across the U.S. government.
