This notice is being processed under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), which allows solicitation from a single source.

Interested organizations have until 4:00 PM Central Standard Time on March 7, 2025, to submit written evidence demonstrating their capability to provide the required performance services to the contact email tiffany.collazo.2@us.af.mil.

Notice text
The 2d 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 in support of Barksdale Air Force Base's 2025 Defenders of Liberty Air Show.
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 to/from identified performers 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 Barksdale Air Force Base 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.
