The engine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is MAN Diesel, Germany, for the T-AKE class ships. Proper refurbishment and maintenance of the engines are critical to the safe operation of the T-AKE vessels. This requirement to procure OEM refurbishment and maintenance of the MPDEs for the T-AKE class vessels relates to national defense, military mission readiness and safety at sea. The solicitation's requirements seek to achieve a continuation of the highest possible reliability and effectiveness by using only OEM service, replacement components and parts on the MPDEs.

The OEM parts and technical data/drawings are required by USCG and ABS regulations. OEM refurbishment and maintenance of the MPDEs maintains all OEM warranties, ensures engine reliability and crew safety, therefore precluding consideration of a product manufactured by another company. The engineering, construction drawings and technical characteristics for the manufactured parts for these propulsion engines are proprietary to MAN Diesel, Germany and the US Government did not acquire rights in this data.

Safety Management Systems Number 10.6-002-ALL lists all MPDEs as critical equipment.
