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 as a prime contractor on a 100% prime basis, with no subcontractor footprint. A small business headquartered in Melbourne, Florida, registered since April 2001, Kaymont Consolidated competes full-and-open; the vendor carries no SBA set-aside designations on its own prime portfolio, though it participates in Total Small Business set-aside IDC vehicles held with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation.

Kaymont Consolidated's customer base is heavily concentrated in two agencies accounting for 86% of combined potential value. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) dominates by dollar value—68 awards totaling $79.7 million combined potential value—driven by a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) for GP26 aerological sounding balloons valued at $9.4 million running through March 2028. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation ranks second by award count (284 awards) but fifth by dollars ($8.5 million combined potential value), reflecting frequent small-dollar purchase orders and delivery orders for meteorological balloons and temperature probes. The Army Test and Evaluation Command places 31 awards worth $1.3 million for 150-gram, 350-gram, and 1,000-gram weather balloons under a $281 thousand IDC through September 2029. Representative work includes a $1.8 million delivery order from NOAA (March 2026) for 48,360 GP26 aerological sounding balloons supporting the National Weather Service's radiosonde observation program, a $670 thousand delivery order (December 2025) for 18,000 GP26 balloons to Japan, and a $987 thousand delivery order (April 2024) for 30,000 GP26 balloons. A smaller civil award came from NASA's Shared Services Center ($28 thousand, July 2025) for 400 Kaymont weather balloons for the SHADOZ Network.

Kaymont Consolidated holds nine prime single-award IDCs collectively generating hundreds of task orders. The top parent vehicles by task-order count are five DLA Aviation IDCs: SPE4A613D0248 (16 task orders, $339 thousand), SPE4A617D6566 (13 task orders, $119 thousand), SPE4A618D0300 (13 task orders, $271 thousand), and SPE4A619D5426 (13 task orders, $175 thousand). The NOAA single-award IDC 1305M221DNWWE0004 carries 13 task orders worth $6.6 million. These vehicles provide streamlined procurement of GP20/GP26 sounding balloons, temperature probes, and thermometers to support weather forecasting, hurricane tracking, and atmospheric research across civilian and defense sectors. Recent task orders under DLA Aviation vehicles reflect ongoing replenishment of meteorological stocks—orders typically $2 thousand to $50 thousand, with firm fixed-price and completion dates one to four months post-award.

Activity has remained consistent over the past three years (33 to 41 awards annually from 2022 through 2024) before declining sharply in 2025 and 2026 (26 and 5 awards respectively), reflecting the front-loading effect of large NOAA IDC awards and the absence of major new vehicle awards in the current fiscal year. Only two awards complete within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $1.8 million, indicating minimal recompete exposure in the immediate window. Award records span back to October 1995, signaling sustained federal customer relationships across three decades. The vendor's product scope—captured under primary PSC 4610000 (Meteorological Instruments and Apparatus, 369 awards) and NAICS 334513 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing)—is highly specialized; Kaymont Consolidated holds OMB-approved non-availability waivers for GP26 balloons on multiple NOAA awards, indicating monopoly or near-monopoly status in this category for federal procurement.
