In-Lab & Onsite Calibration Services in Niceville, FL

Yes. Our ISO/IEC 17025:2017 laboratory is physically located in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Niceville is well outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup-and-delivery radius, so we serve Okaloosa County two ways: prepaid ship-in service with a typical five-business-day turnaround, and scheduled onsite calibration at your facility. The same accreditation, NIST-traceable standards, and certificate format apply regardless of intake method.

Yes. Tra-Cal is ANAB-accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017, with ANSI/NCSL Z540-1 and Z540.3 conformance available on request. Tra-Cal is also a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, CAGE code 9RW47, which matters to contracting teams supporting Eglin Air Force Base. The current scope of accreditation is published on the Tra-Cal Certificate of Accreditation page.

Standard turnaround for in-lab calibration is approximately five business days from receipt of the instrument, plus transit between the Florida Panhandle and our Gaithersburg laboratory, which is generally two to three business days each way by ground. Expedited turnaround and faster shipping options are available on request.

Yes. Each certificate documents traceability through NIST, includes as-found and as-left data where applicable, and lists the standards used, the calibration procedure reference, environmental conditions, and the technician. Certificates support AS9100, ISO 13485, ISO 9001, and FDA 21 CFR Part 820 quality systems, and ANSI/NCSL Z540.3 conformance is available for defense test and evaluation work.

Yes. Onsite calibration is available for fixed assets, large inventories, and instruments that should not be transported. Our mobile labs carry more than 100 reference standards per van, and appointments are scheduled with your team so the work is performed in a controlled environment at your Niceville-area facility with the same accreditation and documentation as in-lab service.

A packaging guide is provided when you request a quote. In general, instruments should be powered down, accessories included where they are required for calibration, and packed with appropriate cushioning for the longer haul from the Panhandle. Prepaid inbound and return shipping labels are available for qualifying customers.

Yes. Tra-Cal offers metrology database management with automated due-date notifications, historical certificate retrieval, and asset-level records suitable for audit support. That is useful for contractor teams around Eglin that have to show current calibration status for every instrument tied to a program.
