About this IDV
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract to Kaymont Consolidated Industries, Inc. with a ceiling of $2,362,229 on August 14, 2026, for General Purpose 20-kilometer (GP20) aerological sounding balloons in support of the National Weather Service's Surface and Upper Air Division. The contract runs through August 13, 2031. An OMB-approved non-availability waiver for GP20 balloons has been reviewed and determined consistent with policy, extending through the contract ceiling date.
The procurement originated from a March 2026 market research notice soliciting vendors capable of supplying GP20 balloons meeting strict performance specifications, including a minimum burst altitude of 20.0 kilometers and an average ascension rate of 275 meters per minute, with at least 90 percent of production meeting standards across all 102 National Weather Service Upper-Air sites. Balloons must achieve maximum inflated dimensions of 2.44 meters vertically and 1.98 meters horizontally, remain compatible with hydrogen, helium, or natural gas inflation, and carry a 16-month warranty.
Kaymont Consolidated is a small business headquartered in Melbourne, Florida, that manufactures aerological sounding balloons and related meteorological equipment on a 100 percent prime basis with no subcontractor footprint. The contract is PSC 4610000 (Meteorological Instruments and Apparatus) and NAICS 334513 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing).
A delivery order for $25,074 was issued on August 14, 2026, for GP20 aerological sounding balloons with performance at Japan and completion by November 12, 2026, on a firm fixed-price basis.
