NOAA/AOC - Test and Calibration of Equip. & Repair

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is soliciting test, calibration, and repair services for approximately 300 specialized tools and equipment used by the Aircraft Operations Center (AOC) for aircraft maintenance operations. The procurement encompasses precision instruments including torque wrenches in various ranges and drives, pressure gauges, aircraft scales, multimeters, torque meters, dynamometers, and oscilloscopes, with some items being military-derivative equipment and others standard commercial instruments. Contractors must demonstrate capability to calibrate equipment to either ISO 17025 or Z540 standards and may perform calibration on-site using their own equipment without requiring government-paid travel. Evaluation will consider past performance questionnaires and pricing schedules submitted by vendors, with the solicitation utilizing a Total Small Business set-aside designation. The initial due date of October 17, 2025 was extended by amendment to October 16, 2025 at 2:30 PM ET, providing interested small businesses with the opportunity to submit proposals for this specialized services contract.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business enterprises. The contract period of performance extends from October 25, 2025 through October 24, 2030, representing a five-year service agreement for ongoing calibration and maintenance support. Performance will take place at NOAA's Aircraft Operations Center in Norfolk, Virginia, where the tools and equipment are utilized in aircraft maintenance operations. The solicitation references an updated NOAA Tool List containing detailed inventory information including serial numbers, calibration identification, work center locations, and equipment status to guide vendor pricing and scope development. While no specific award value is disclosed in the solicitation notice, the comprehensive nature of the equipment inventory and the extended five-year performance period indicate a substantial contract opportunity for qualified small business calibration service providers.
