[How we work]

The operator's code

Culture at Field Calibrations is written on the wall of the room where the work is planned — a board room shared by the accredited laboratory, the operations team, and leadership. The rules are short, and they set expectations for every measurement, every certificate, and every customer commitment.

  • No issues. Just solutions.

    A calibration lab lives on measurement discipline and problem-solving. When something goes sideways, we don't build a case. We build a fix.

  • One team. One fight.

    Every technician, coordinator, and customer-service voice owns the same accreditation and the same customer promise. Nobody carries this alone; nobody hides behind their function.

  • Just do it. Right.

    Speed and shortcuts are not the same thing. Rush turnaround is a scheduling promise; the measurement itself gets the same care every time. If it isn't right, it isn't done.

Arizona and Alaska state flags share the wall with the IAS Certificate of Accreditation — a small reminder that FCI is an Alaska Native Corporation subsidiary operating out of Phoenix, and that our accreditation and our ownership answer to the same standard: do it right, or don't claim it.

[Inside the lab]

Calibration technician in progress

Our observation window says what our procedures require: while a calibration is in progress, the technician is the sole owner of that measurement. No interruptions, no distractions, no shortcuts. It is the visible face of our ISO/IEC 17025 quality system — the same discipline that keeps every certificate defensible under audit.

  • Every calibration is performed against a documented procedure with stated measurement uncertainty at 95% confidence (k=2).
  • Reference standards are laid out and verified before work begins — the bench is single-purpose while the light is on.
  • Every observation is captured in the certificate audit trail before the instrument leaves the bench.

[Ownership]

A Native American–owned business

In 2016, Field Calibrations, Inc. was acquired by Emmonak Corporation, an Alaska Native Corporation, expanding our capability to serve federal and Native-owned business set-aside contracts.

Field Calibrations is wholly owned — through a holding company — by Emmonak Corporation, an Alaska Native Corporation. This ownership ties FCI to a mission of economic self-determination for Native shareholders and provides government buyers a Buy Indian Act–listed, set-aside-eligible supplier.

As an ANC-owned small business pursuing SBA 8(a) certification, FCI brings the agility of a small business and the backing of an established ANC parent.
