In-Lab & Onsite Calibration Services in Cheyenne, WY

No. Tra-Cal's ISO/IEC 17025:2017, ANAB-accredited laboratory is physically located at 8577 Atlas Drive, Gaithersburg, MD 20877. We serve Cheyenne and Laramie County from that lab through prepaid ship-in and, where an instrument population justifies it, scheduled onsite mobile-lab deployments. There is no Tra-Cal office or drop-off point in Wyoming.

Cheyenne is well outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup-and-delivery radius, so Wyoming work runs on prepaid ship-in. We provide prepaid inbound and return shipping, calibrate in Gaithersburg, and return your instruments with NIST-traceable certificates in about five business days from receipt. Cheyenne is unusually well positioned for this: it sits at the junction of Interstate 80 and Interstate 25, one of the busiest freight crossroads in the Mountain West, so ground transit is typically quicker and cheaper than for comparably remote cities.

Yes. F.E. Warren Air Force Base sits about three miles west of Cheyenne and is the oldest continuously active installation in the Air Force, established in 1867 as Fort D.A. Russell. It hosts the 90th Missile Wing, which operates LGM-30G Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles, and it is also the headquarters of Twentieth Air Force, the numbered air force that commands every ICBM in the U.S. Air Force inventory. Tra-Cal is veteran-owned with more than 35 years of experience calibrating to ANSI/NCSL Z540-1 and Z540.3, and our certificates support AS9100 and ISO 9001 systems. We contract directly with suppliers and support contractors rather than through base channels.

About five business days in the lab, plus transit each way. Thanks to the I-80 corridor, most Cheyenne customers see shorter door-to-door times than other Mountain West locations — commonly a little over a week on standard ground, faster with expedited freight. If a particular standard is holding up a maintenance cycle, tell your account manager and we will schedule around it.

Onsite service in Cheyenne is a scheduled mobile-lab deployment, not a routine local visit. Each van carries more than 100 standards, so one trip can cover a large instrument population, which is what makes the distance from Maryland worthwhile. That suits sites with substantial inventories, or several Laramie County employers coordinating a shared window. For a small number of instruments, prepaid ship-in is faster and less expensive, and we will tell you that up front.

The mix reflects an unusual local economy. Strategic-missile sustainment work drives torque, pressure, electrical, and timing and frequency standards. The Wyoming Air National Guard's 153d Airlift Wing flies C-130 Hercules aircraft from Cheyenne Air National Guard Base, which adds torque wrenches, pressure and hydraulic gauges, and avionics and RF test equipment. Cheyenne's research-computing and data-center sector — including the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center — brings temperature and humidity mapping, airflow, and electrical measurement work. We also repair equipment from more than 100 manufacturers.

Yes. Tra-Cal is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 by ANAB, and every certificate documents NIST-traceable measurements with the uncertainty data auditors expect. Our work supports AS9100, ISO 9001, ISO 13485 and FDA 21 CFR Part 820 programs, which covers what quality and engineering teams in Cheyenne need across defense sustainment, airlift maintenance, state facilities, and data-center operations.

We ship to every Cheyenne ZIP code, spanning 82001 through 82003 and 82006 through 82010, and we serve the surrounding Laramie County communities of Ranchettes, South Greeley, Fox Farm-College, Hillsdale, Burns, Albin, Carpenter and Pine Bluffs. Customers farther out along Interstate 80 and Interstate 25 are handled the same way.
