Serving Bay St. Louis, MS
Bay St. Louis is the seat of Hancock County on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, about twenty miles from NASA's Stennis Space Center, a rocket propulsion test complex that also hosts Navy oceanography commands, NOAA and USGS facilities, and aerospace tenants. Nearby Stennis International Airport serves general aviation, military traffic, and an autonomous solar aircraft program. Tra-Cal supports this technical work with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
Because Tra-Cal's lab is in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and Bay St. Louis falls outside the Mid-Atlantic pickup radius, the area is served two ways: prepaid ship-in calibration with a typical five-business-day turnaround, and scheduled onsite calibration appointments. Every calibration follows documented procedures, is NIST traceable, and comes with an audit-ready certificate supporting AS9100, ISO 13485, ISO 9001, and FDA 21 CFR Part 820 quality systems. Tra-Cal's laboratory is in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and Bay St. Louis sits well outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup and delivery radius — so we serve Hancock County and the Mississippi Gulf Coast through two intake paths: prepaid ship-in calibration with a typical five-business-day turnaround, and scheduled onsite calibration appointments at your facility. Each calibration is performed against documented procedures, traced through NIST, and accompanied by an audit-ready certificate that supports AS9100, ISO 13485, ISO 9001, and FDA 21 CFR Part 820 quality systems.
