Kaymont Consolidated Industries, Inc.

Kaymont Consolidated Industries, Inc., doing business as Kaymont Consolidated, manufactures and distributes specialized meteorological equipment—aerological sounding balloons (GP20 and GP26 models), weather balloons, temperature probes, and self-reading thermometers—to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor on a 100 percent basis with no subcontractor footprint. The Melbourne, Florida-based small business competes predominantly in full-and-open federal procurements, with no use of set-aside categories across its prime awards.

Kaymont's federal work centers on weather data collection and atmospheric research infrastructure. Representative prime contracts include a $1.8 million delivery order from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) placed March 2026 for 48,360 GP26 aerological sounding balloons supporting the National Weather Service's radiosonde observation program; a $670.5 thousand delivery order from NOAA placed December 2025 for 18,000 GP26 balloons under a non-availability waiver through March 2028; a $773,156 Indefinite Delivery Contract awarded by Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation in September 2024 running through September 2029 for meteorological balloons and temperature probes; and a $281,487.50 IDC awarded by the Army Test and Evaluation Command in September 2024 for 150-gram, 350-gram, and 1,000-gram weather balloons through September 2029. Kaymont also holds a $9.4 million single-award IDC with NOAA effective through March 2028 for GP26 aerological sounding balloon supplies, and a $2.4 million single-award IDC with NOAA for GP20 balloons running through August 2031.

Customer concentration is acute and strategic. NOAA accounts for 72 awards (68% of potential value at $82.4 million) and dominates the dollar ranking by a wide margin; DLA Aviation places 291 small-value purchase and delivery orders totaling $8.5 million combined potential value but drives volume through standing IDCs. The Army Test and Evaluation Command, DLA Troop Support, and DLA Troop Support Medical round out the active set at $1.3 million, $78 thousand, and $110 thousand respectively. Together, these five agencies account for 89 percent of recent awards and 86 percent of combined potential value. The ranking divergence reflects Kaymont's business model: NOAA anchors strategic, large-dollar IDC work for specialized aerological sounding balloons, while DLA Aviation generates high-frequency, low-dollar task orders for commodity meteorological equipment through multiple standing contract vehicles.

Kaymont holds nine active IDCs with federal agencies. Beyond the NOAA and DLA Aviation vehicles named above, the vendor maintains five additional DLA Aviation single-award IDCs ranging from $57,955 to $250,000 and running through 2027–2029, each designated Total Small Business set-aside despite the vendor competing as unrestricted on the underlying prime awards. These secondary IDCs procure meteorological balloons, temperature probes, and self-reading thermometers. The top parent vehicles by task order count are DLA Aviation IDC SPE4A613D0248 (16 task orders, $339 thousand), NOAA IDC 1305M221DNWWE0004 (13 task orders, $6.6 million), and three additional DLA Aviation IDCs with 13 task orders each ($119 thousand to $271 thousand combined).

Award activity has remained steady but shows recent softening. Kaymont placed 33 awards in 2022, 35 in 2023, 41 in 2024, 26 in 2025, and 18 in 2026 year-to-date—a decline from the 2024 peak. Only six awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $2.3 million, indicating limited recompete exposure in the near term. The vendor's 471 total prime awards span 16 customer agencies over three decades, with NAICS concentration in meteorological and measuring-control devices (388 awards in those categories combined) and PSC 4610000 (Meteorological Instruments and Apparatus) accounting for 379 awards. Kaymont has been registered in SAM.gov since April 2001 and is characterized across award summaries as the world's largest federal distributor of weather balloons and meteorological instruments.
