In-Lab & OnsiteCalibration Services in Texarkana, TX

No. Tra-Cal's ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited laboratory is located at 8577 Atlas Drive, Gaithersburg, MD 20877. We serve Texarkana, Bowie County, and the surrounding Ark-La-Tex from that lab through prepaid ship-in service and scheduled onsite mobile-lab visits. There is no Tra-Cal walk-in counter in northeast Texas.

Most Texarkana customers use prepaid ship-in. We send a shipping label, your instruments travel to Gaithersburg, and typical in-lab turnaround is about five business days. For larger consolidated loads we schedule an onsite visit with a Tra-Cal mobile calibration lab, each of which carries standards for more than 100 instruments. Texarkana is roughly 180 miles northeast of Dallas and far outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup-and-delivery radius, so we do not run a local courier route there.

Yes. Red River Army Depot sits about 18 miles west of Texarkana in Bowie County and is the largest employer in the metro area. The depot covers roughly 15,375 acres with more than 1,400 buildings, around 8 million square feet of production floor space, and 16 tenant organizations. It is the Army's Center of Industrial and Technical Excellence for tactical wheeled vehicles and for the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. Suppliers and support contractors in that ecosystem need NIST-traceable calibration with defensible documentation, which is exactly what we provide.

Depot overhaul and remanufacture depends on torque tools, pressure and flow gauges, dimensional gauging, and electrical and electronic test equipment that must all read true. Red River Army Depot was the first depot in Army Materiel Command to earn ISO 9001 certification across its administrative and production processes and holds a long-standing ISO 14001 environmental registration. Quality systems at that level require documented calibration traceability, and our certificates are built to satisfy it.

We cover RF and microwave, general electronic, temperature and humidity, physical and dimensional, oven and freezer, optical, and timing and frequency. That range suits the mix of employers around Texarkana, from vehicle and component rebuild work to the tire, packaging, and paper manufacturing plants and the two regional hospitals.

We serve Texarkana, Texas ZIP codes 75501 and 75503, plus the neighboring Bowie County communities of Nash, Wake Village, Hooks, and New Boston, the Bowie County seat. Because Texarkana is a twin city, we also serve Texarkana, Arkansas in Miller County. The area is reached by Interstate 30 and U.S. Highways 59, 67, 71, and 82, with Loop 151 and Interstate 369 forming the western bypass.

Yes. Tra-Cal is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 by ANAB and supports customers audited to AS9100, ISO 13485, ISO 9001, and FDA 21 CFR Part 820. ANSI/NCSL Z540-1 and Z540.3 reporting is available on request. That covers the defense supply chain around the depot as well as the medical side of the local economy, including Christus St. Michael Health Care and Wadley Regional Medical Center.

Yes. We repair test equipment from more than 100 manufacturers and we also sell new and refurbished instruments. Every account gets a dedicated account manager and asset database management, so a Texarkana maintenance shop can track each instrument's calibration due date in one place.
