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.
