Requirements Description: The Engine for the 5kW APU is based upon the Farymann model 43F single cylinder diesel engine. The 5kW APU Engine requires the addition of several components to the 43F engine. Simple supply of the 43F engine will not be sufficient. The model 43F engine may also be sourced from TZEN Co, Ltd. The Government does possess the technical data package (TDP) for the parts. The TDP is available for release. The TDP includes level 3 Production information. The Government will also 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 that the parts meet the Military's requirements, the cost of which would be considered in the acquisition decision.
