Purchase Order N6470924P0035

This $7,464.50 firm-fixed-price Purchase Order was awarded by the U.S. Navy Installations Command to Vaisala Inc., a foreign-owned, for-profit manufacturer of weather and environmental monitoring equipment, for the satellite dish realignment at Kings Bay Base in Georgia. The contract supports the Trident II (D-5) Sea-Launched Ballistic Missile program, a major defense program. Vaisala has provided various meteorological instrumentation to federal agencies like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) through both prime and subcontract awards. While this contract has no set-aside designation, Vaisala maintains several indefinite delivery contracts with NOAA and the Department of Defense with potential values up to $48 million to provide expendable atmospheric sensors and barometers through 2032.
