This is a market survey to locate sources of supply for commercial services to overhaul and/or remanufacture the Farymann Model 43F Diesel Engine and all components of engine assembly NSN 2815-01-486-7691. Background/Performance Requirement; the 43F Diesel Engine is a four cycle, single cylinder, air cooled, fuel injected, horizontal cylinder engine. It has a 95 millimeter (mm) bore, a 100 mm stoke, 709 cubic centimeter displacement, and has a rated output of 13.5 horsepower at 3000 revolutions per minute (rpm). The engine has oil pressure forced lubrication. The fuel injection pump and the valves are controlled by the camshaft which is driven by the crankshaft. The fuel injection pump (self-venting fuel system) is driven directly while the valves are driven by push rods and rockers. An electric starter and a manual starting device are provided to start the engine. The engines are equipped with a fully automatic decompression system and a fully automatic starting enrichment quantity. The federal government will provide unserviceable units (cores) as governmental furnished equipment (GFE) to the contractor overhauling the engine. The estimated annual quantity for the purposes of this announcement is fifty units per year. The engine assembly, NSN 2815-01-486-7691, consists of the engine plus multiple accessory items as defined by the following vendor CAGE codes and PNs: Dewey Electronics, CAGE: 14058, P/N: 96-9370; Quality Defense Spares Inc. (QDS), CAGE: 0ZSC3, P/N: MP-028; Marvin Land Systems, CAGE: 064H2, P/N: 432-9900. The Model 43F engine is a major component of the 5 kW Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) MEP 952B, NSN 6115-01-452-6513. Detailed technical data for the manufacture of both the entire APU and the engine assembly are not available from the Army. However, reference overview drawings and a general parts list is available from the most recent Army Technical Manual (attached to this announcement). Interested contractors shall provide all services, labor, facilities, equipment, tools, parts, materials, and shipping costs to remanufacture the engine to the National Maintenance Work Requirements contained in NMWR 9-2815-535, the Army Technical Manual (TM) 9-6115-664-13&P and the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Standards. Maintenance Forms, Records, and Reports: Department of the Army forms and procedures used for equipment maintenance will be those prescribed by DA PAM 750-8, The Army Maintenance Management System (TAMMS) Users Manual. Internal control forms may be used in accordance with the administrative requirements of the overhaul activity. Suppliers capable of supplying either of the aforementioned parts and services must indicate by writing to: Commander, USA CECOM, ATTN: Edward Engbert, RDER-PRP-G, 6590 Reconnaissance Street, Building 6010, Space 226-21, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD 21005 or by email to both Edward Engbert at
[email protected] Insert the NSN in email correspondence to inclue the following words in the subject line as follows "NSN 2815-01-486-7691". Interested vendor responses must include documentation such as test results, copy of purchase orders if the supplier was a vendor to the listed source or a statement from listed source demnstrating that the supplier can supply the Army with a unit from the listed source. The response should also include production lead times, number of years parts will be available, rough order of magnitude (ROM) cost estimate on a per unit basis, price break ranges if applicable, part number & CAGE # of proposed parts, or any other information that could affect the acquisition, supply and delivery of the parts. The Government will consider parts from other sources that have the same form, fit, and function as the required parts. Alternate parts would have to pass extensive performance and qualification testing to ensure the parts meet the Military's requirements. The cost of which would be considered in the acquisition decision. Successful supplier may be required to warrant that the item supplied will satisfactorily perform when used for the purpose intended by the Army. Please complete the following questions.

What is a good Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost estimate on a per unit basis? 4) Describe your manufacturing and supply capabilities in terms of stock on hand for production start, minimum lead time notification periods, minimum production order requirements, price breaks for volume purchases, what a full production rate is and how long it takes to achieve after contract award, and if initial production can be expedited for a fee, any additional cost for expediting production, and the expedited production lead time. 5) Does your Company hold a current Government multi-use contract, such as a GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract, for this engine? If so, please provide the current contract number. 6) Describe how your company addresses production quality control in terms of qualification testing during initial production and periodic testing during ongoing production. How do these capabilities lend themselves to the production of the subject part of interest? 7) Is the part you are proposing available in the commercial market place? 8) If additional time is needed to respond to this inquiry, please contact Edward Engbert.
