BAK-12 arrester engines and assembly kits

The Air National Guard (ANG) A4 requires BAK-12 arrester engines and assembly kits to convert current Wisconsin gas engines to Deutz diesel engines for aircraft arresting systems. This conversion ensures uniformity, technical knowledge, and Airman readiness across the Air Force. The contractor must provide Deutz Model F4L2011-31377, Tier 2 Diesel Engines with specific 24-volt components, including a starter, alternator, shutdown solenoid, glow plugs, and a LOFA 24 Volt Control Panel. The engine assembly kits must include a Power Take-off (PTO) Package, engine harness, exhaust pipe, cooler guard, throttle lever mounting kit, aluminum vernier throttle cable, oil drain truck valve and adapter, timing control unit, slave relay, LOFA panel wiring harness, MC mount kit, lifting eyes, and both parts and operator manuals. Deliverables include quality assurance inspections, verification of gauge function and calibration, operational preheat systems, complete engine/PTO assembly (excluding loose control panel and manuals), inventory of loose items, pre-installed lubricating oil, and an EPA-required exhaust emissions label. Delivery of engines and assembly kits is required within 180 days of contract award to CETB, Minot, ND.

The National Guard Bureau has issued Solicitation Number W9133L-26-Q-0001, a Request for Quotation (RFQ), for the procurement of Deutz Model D2011L04i 24V, Tier 4 Engines (or suitable substitute Deutz Model F4L2011-31377, Tier 2 Diesel Engines) and Mounted Assembly Kits. This acquisition is 100% set-aside for Small Business Concerns, with NAICS code 335312 and a size standard of 1,250 employees. Quotes are due by April 30, 2026, and must include manufacture name, part number, and technical specifications, utilizing Attachment 4 - Pricing Workbook. The evaluation criteria are based on Lowest Price Technically Acceptable, requiring products to meet specifications in Attachment 1 – Purchase Description. All parts must be included without exception, and deliveries are to be made to Minot, ND. Various FAR and DFARS clauses are incorporated, emphasizing compliance and ethical conduct.

The Air National Guard (ANG) requires Tier 4 Diesel Engines with a mounted assembly kit, specifically the Deutz Model D2011L04i 24V, or a suitable substitute, the Deutz Model F4L2011-31377, Tier 2 Diesel Engines. These engines are essential for converting existing Wisconsin gas engines on BAK-12 aircraft arresting systems to Deutz diesel engines. This requirement ensures uniformity across the Air Force, aligning with active duty Air Force standards and existing Technical Orders (TOs) that exclusively reference Deutz diesel engines. The ANG has procured these engines since 2019 to maintain consistency and improve Airman readiness in deployed environments. This FY26 requirement is a re-procurement, justified by brand name and limited sources under FAR 13.501(a) due to the specific need for these engines and the lack of other suitable alternatives that meet agency requirements for simplified acquisition procedures.

The Air National Guard (ANG) A4 requires BAK-12 arrester engines and assembly kits to convert existing Wisconsin gas engines to Deutz diesel engines. This conversion ensures Air Force-wide uniformity, technical knowledge, and Airman readiness in deployed environments. The contractor must provide Deutz Model D2011L04i 24V, Tier 4 Diesel Engines (or the suitable substitute Deutz Model F4L2011-31377, Tier 2 Diesel Engines) with specific components including a starter, alternator, shutdown solenoid, glow plugs, and a LOFA 24 Volt Control Panel. Additionally, the contractor must supply comprehensive engine assembly kits, including a Power Take-off (PTO) Package, engine harness, exhaust pipe, and various other essential parts. Deliverables include quality assurance inspections, verification of operational gauges and preheat systems, and ensuring the engine/PTO is assembled with lubricating oil and an EPA-mandated exhaust emissions label. Loose items like the control panel and manuals must be packaged separately. The engines and assembly kits must be delivered to CETB, Minot, ND within 180 days of contract award.
