Seeking Calibration procedure sources - Is anyone here a participant in GIDEP?

Hello forum

Amazingly, the company I work for has never ever ever done a single job for the federal government of US or Canada. It's highly doubted by all top management if any work has been done for a direct supplier to the government.

I even asked GIDEP if we could participate, and I'll probably be pleading next. Why? I can't find a source for calibration procedures.

NCSL has calibration procedures and some interesting documents for purchase. When I went through their list of procedures, I saw maybe 10 for metalworking gages.

NCSL, InterCal, SureCal websites all show calibration and verification data for electronics but almost nothing for dimensional. Am I looking in the right spot or is this the truth?

When I look at what GIDEP has to offer, I see immediately that this is EXACTLY what we need. I want it.

Is there an alternative?

Is anyone participating in GIDEP that can offer an opinion of the program and of the data resources available through it?

Does anyone have the DVD?

Allow me to amend this thread's subject somewhat...

(possible eligibility found!!)

Is anyone a participant in GIDEP? After reading the requirements and information around the program a few times, I was hoping someone could describe the actual requirements of participation so I know what I'm getting into.

One of the requirements is to submit documents for inclusion to the GIDEP database. What sort of work is necessary to fulfill this requirement?

Same situation

I found myself in the same situation. I filled out their application and they called me back asking what government contracts we had. Since we have never done any, I was not allowed access. If you read some of the threads, I asked for a procedure on caibrating micrometers and was directed to GIDEP. They do have ALL the info I wanted(and probably yourself) but cannot get to them. What ashame not to share this info.

If you think you might take a closer look at your customers, try this website. It'll let you look up government suppliers.

Isn't there a commercial product or service for calibration procedures? I do see some groups and services out there, but it's all electronic metrology. Nothing solid in the dimensional area.

Thanks to whoever made the title edit. :)

What do you need in the way of calibration procedures - I could share one for micrometers and calipers that I used in my prior position as lab supervisor in a steel mill. The lab was ISO Guide 25 certified when I left the position at the end of 2000 and getting ready for ISO 17025 in 2001. I don't have it here at work, but do have it at home on a disk. If it would be of interest I could post it this evening.

No access to GIDEP, so I can't help there.

Our lab (finally) participates in the GIDEP program. We are not direct suppliers to the government, but some of our customers are (e.g. General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin). Perhaps we just lucked out.

Being a government program, it is the responsibility of the participant not to distribute the information, especially to foreign gevernments, etc. They seem pretty serious about it.

It's a nice program, where you are required to submit small reports on the usefullnes of the document you procured. I find that we do have to sift through some non-relevant docs, but there are some real gems in there.
One can look up online, or via five DVD's. There is a search program to look up titles, then you insert the appropriate DVD.
