Kaymont Awarded NOAA Contract for Radiation Measurement Instruments
MELBOURNE, Fla. — Sep. 25, 2025 — Kaymont Consolidated Industries, Inc. has been awarded contract 1305M325P0339 by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to supply OTT HydroMet radiation measurement instruments and accessories for NOAA’s Physical Sciences Laboratory in Boulder, Colorado.
Awarded on September 23, 2025, the purchase order is valued at approximately $18,710. The procurement includes a Kipp & Zonen CGR4 pyrgeometer, a CMP22 pyranometer and associated cables.
Pyrgeometers measure longwave infrared radiation, while pyranometers measure shortwave solar radiation. Together, these measurements help researchers examine the energy exchanged between Earth’s surface and the atmosphere.
The instruments were specified for compatibility with NOAA’s existing seagoing flux measurement systems, supporting research into the radiation budget at the ocean surface. These observations contribute to understanding how the ocean and atmosphere exchange energy.
As the awarded supplier, Kaymont will provide the specified instruments and accessories to support NOAA’s research requirements. Kaymont is proud to serve the scientific community through the supply of equipment for environmental measurement and atmospheric observation.
