PREFACE:

This is a DLA Land Warren Market Survey for manufacturing and delivery of subject APU (National Stock Number 6115-01-465-8922). The NAICS code proposed to be used is 335311.

OBJECTVES:

DLA Land Warren is conducting a market survey to determine industry’s interest and capability for the manufacturing and First Article Test of this APU.

INTENT:

By use of this survey, it is DLA Land Warren’s intent to compile results of this survey to determine what types of businesses can satisfy this requirement. Capability and responsibility factors are necessary in terms of manufacturing knowledge, resources to furnish this critical component and adherence to a first article test.

ACQUISITION PLAN:

Subject to change, but the current strategy is awarding one or more contracts under a firm-fixed price scenario through a three-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity long term contract. The current minimum guaranteed quantity is 7 EA, with a potential total quantity over the life of the contract of 138 EA.

DESCRIPTION OF Auxiliary Power Unit (APU):

The Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) provides electrical and hydraulic power to the M88A1/A2 Recovery Vehicles for auxiliary and emergency functions. It consists of a Hatz 2G40 2-cylinder diesel engine coupled to a chain-driven gear case that in turn drives a hydraulic pump and a 300-Amp generator which also acts as the starter. The APU is used to charge the vehicle batteries, power the hydraulic impact wrench, and power the refuel/defuel pump etc. In case of emergency, the APU can be used to raise/lower boom or spade, retrieve main/hoist/auxiliary winch cables under no-load conditions, or lower a hoisted load to ground.
