Notice Of Intent - Air Show Smoke Oil

The 502d Contracting Squadron intends to issue a direct award to
Commemorative Air Force (CAF), 5661 Mariner Drive, Dallas, Texas 75237-
4728 (SAM UEI: RR3MM8ZLJSA8) for Flight Line Services.
The Commemorative Air Force (CAF) Flight Line Service Detachment (FLSD)
provides high quality smoke & engine oil services. The aerobatic smoke oil
and engine oil are transported on base from/to Harlingen by the
contractor. These fluids are used during aerobatic displays to highlight
plumes, maneuvers with white or colored smoke to enhance the displays.
It's safe for performances because it provides better visibility of the
aircrafts. The Flight Line carries a wide range of fluids to support large
events such our airshows and they bring in their own equipment to pump
the fluids into the aircrafts. The vendor is local, and pricing is cheaper to
haul the oils to Randoph from an instate vendor than an out of state
vendor.
This notice is not a request for quotations/proposals or an invitation for
bids and no solicitation is available.
The Government intends to procure from only one source under the
authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1)(i),
Soliciting from a single source.
Interested organizations may submit clear and convincing evidence to
support their ability to provide the needed performance services in writing
to davion.blanks@us.af.mil and jermayne.gordon@us.af.mil.no later than
10:00 am (CST), 3 April 2026.
The Government does not anticipate receiving responses to this notice. If
parties choose to respond, any cost associated with preparation and
submission of data or any other cost incurred in response to this
announcement are the sole responsibility of the respondent and will not
be reimbursed by the Government.
