Item Name: Exhaust System, Engine

NSN: 2990-01-676-2517

Part Number: 402-8004 Quantity: Min 25; Max 400 End Item: M1A2SEPv3 Abrams Response Date: 15 Feb 2022

Day Month Year 15 2 (Feb.) 2022

Requirements Description:

Exhaust System kit for the engine auxiliary power for the M1A2 SEP V3.

The EXHAUST SYSTEM,ENGINE is an integral part of the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) Assembly specifically designed for the low-profile APU of the M1A2SEPv3 Abrams Main Battle Tank. The EXHAUST SYSTEM,ENGINE guides engine exhaust gases away from the APU and vehicle, and therefore is a critical component of the auxiliary power unit assembly operation.

The Government does not have rights to the Technical Data Package (TDP) or specifications.

The approved source, Marvin Land Systems Inc., has proven the ability to manufacture the EXHAUST SYSTEM,ENGINE that can successfully meet the requirements of SC-SA20450 Product Fabrication Specification (PFS) for the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU). This test is required for components that are critical for engine/vehicle operation and crew safety.

Malfunction of the APU due to poorly manufactured EXHAUST SYSTEM,ENGINE could cause APU damage due to recirculation of exhaust air leading to significant loss of equipment and life due to inoperability of Abrams electrical systems while supporting 12 hours continuous silent watch or engine off operation. The approved source has proven that they are able to deliver an EXHAUST SYSTEM,ENGINE of sufficient quality in support of the APU assembly. If another possible source of supply for this item was identified, qualification testing would be required.
