- Description
- General Description: Independent Lab Services for aviation gasolines, experimental fuel blends and additives, turbine fuels, alternative turbine fuels and lubricating oils. FAA ™s basis of determination: Dixie Services is the only independent laboratory in the country that can perform all four (4) ASTM methods for rating the combustion characteristics of motor, diesel, and aviation fuels, in addition to blending 55 gallon drum quantities of fuel onsite. It is paramount for scientific accuracy that the same facility be used for testing and blending. It is critical for AFETF work that the independent laboratory have experience with both ASTM D2700 motor octane and (D2700) testing for piston aviation fuels above and below 100 MON, and ASTM D909 supercharge rich performance number (D909) testing for piston aviation fuels including for experimental high aromatic and unleaded base fuels. Dixie also provides specialized drum quantity leaded, unleaded, and specialty chemical blending for FAA Technical Center testing needs. Experimental and novel fuels have been found in previous testing to perform differently than normal in these tests, therefore experienced test facilities are required to insure the validity of results. Dixie Services has been testing experiment, novel, alternative and unleaded aviation gasoline since 2002. If you disagree with the FAA ™s decision to issue a contract to Dixie Services as the only provider of the required testing and supporting services, please submit an email stating your basis of disagreement to the Contracting Officer at Lori.McLaughlin@faa.gov no later than 2 p.m., local time, on August 22, 2014. The FAA SHALL NOT be liable for any costs associated with the preparation of responses to the request for information, nor reimburse or otherwise pay any costs associated with the preparation of responses to the request for information, nor reimburse or otherwise pay any costs incurred by any party responding to this announcement. All inquiries must be made in writing, via email. No phone calls, please.
