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.
