3. Description of Services or Supplies: This requirement is to obtain non-personal service for servicing and repair of Aqua-Glo kits. Aqua-Glo kits measure free water contents within petroleum products dispensed to aircraft, turbine engines, or vehicular equipment. Water content contained in petroleum products at higher altitudes increases the risk of engine failure due to potential icing in aircraft fuel systems at higher elevations. Excessive water content contained in petroleum products degrade the additive Fuel System Icing Inhibitor and increases injury to aviators and operators due to systems malfunctions. Requirement is being acquired for 4th Infantry Division, Fort Carson, Colorado.
