CONTRACT DESCRIPTION: The principal purpose of CAMS III is to operate the existing Metrology Standards and Calibration Laboratory (MSCL) located in Building 343 at JSC. The MSCL provides calibration services by performing calibration operations on Measurement and Test Equipment (MTE). Most of the MTE is commercial off-the-shelf, such as torque wrenches, pressure transducers and voltmeters, and is used to measure physical, mechanical, and electrical properties.Currently, the MSCL is responsible for a total calibration inventory of approximately 44,000 items of MTE. Of these, up to approximately 14,000 items are scheduled to be calibrated at any given time, with approximate 15,000 calibrations to be conducted annually.Approximately 10% of the MTE is in-place items that cannot be removed and calibration must be performed on the equipment at its on-site location. The MSCL has ISO/IEC 17025:2005, ANSI/NCSLZ540-1-1994, and ANSI/NCSL Z540.3-2006 Accreditations, and a Quality Management System (QMS) that is compliant with ANSI/ISO/ASQ (E) Q9001-2008 and SAE AS9100C.
