Scales And Balances

PSC Code 6670 (Scales and Balances) encompasses a diverse range of precision measurement equipment used across government agencies for scientific, industrial, logistics, and research applications. These products include analytical balances, microbalances, platform scales, truck scales, medical scales, and specialized weighing systems designed for specific operational requirements. The equipment ranges from small laboratory instruments to large industrial weighing platforms capable of measuring heavy loads with high accuracy.

Federal Contract Awards under this PSC code demonstrate significant diversity, with contract values ranging from less than $100 to over $700,000. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and General Services Administration (GSA) are the most frequent awarding agencies, with contracts typically spanning 3-18 months. Frequently awarded vendors include Intercomp Co., The Scale People, Inc., Government Scientific Source Inc., and Itin Scale Co., Inc. Many awards are set aside for small businesses, including service-disabled veteran-owned, women-owned, and minority-owned small businesses. Performance locations span military installations, research laboratories, medical facilities, and commissary operations across the United States, including overseas locations like South Korea and Hawaii.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities focus on specialized weighing equipment for various government applications. Notable opportunities include a Steel Deck Motor Truck Scale for Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska, a Cambridge Model 770-AW Axle Weigher Scale for Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Hawaii, and hanging produce scales for Defense Commissary Agency stores. Solicitations request precision instruments ranging from small laboratory balances to large platform scales, with most opportunities set aside for small businesses. Agencies including the Department of Defense, Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity, and Naval Supply Systems Command are seeking equipment to support missions in research, logistics, medical testing, and operational support.
