ITEM DESCRIPTIONS
               
1. NSN: 1650-00-288-6044; Noun: Hydraulic Motor-Pump; Part Number: 69796-12
The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements for qualification to deliver the Motor-Pump Hydraulic, National Stock Number (NSN): 1650-00-288-6044, PN 69796-12. The Government does not own or have access to the engineering data for these items. 

FUNCTION: The hydraulic manifold and pump is contained in an envelope 10.6 inches long by 6.4 inches in diameter and weighs approximately 26.5 pounds (dry). The manifold and hydraulic pump are mounted on and driven by an Air Frame Mounted Accessory Drive System (AMADS).The hydraulic pump is a variable speed, variable delivery, pressure compensated pump which delivers hydraulic fluid under pressure to the various hydraulic subsystems in response to subsystem demand. The manifold is attached to the AMADS by means of a V groove band coupling clamp and has no moving parts except for the system sealing pistons which close the system hydraulic parts when the pump is removed. The manifold also incorporates all the fluid ports which connect to the aircraft hydraulic system. The hydraulic pump is attached to the manifold by means of a V groove band coupling clamp.
 
 
2. NSN 1650-00-333-7185; Noun: Hydraulic Accumulator; Part Number: 2710996-2
The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements for qualification to deliver the Accumulator Hydraulic, National Stock Number (NSN): 1650-00-333-7185, 2710996-2. The Government does not own or have access to the engineering data for these items. 
 
FUNCTION: The jet fuel starter hydraulic accumulator is a self-displacing unit used in parallel and mounted in pairs to provide for two start capability for a jet fuel starter. The accumulator discharges a volume of high pressure oil from the high pressure oil chamber and simultaneously absorbs an equal volume of low pressure oil in the reservoir chamber. After the start of the gas turbine engine, a hydraulic pump recharges the high pressure side by replacing the oil discharged during engine starting cycle.
 
 
3. NSN: 1650-01-122-6948; Noun: Assembly Servo-cylinder; Part Number: 3292000-11

The cylinder end of the device is bushing mounted. The piston rod has a spherical bearing. Hydraulic connections are made at the cylinder end of the device. The hydraulic cylinder control system is used at the mounting end of the cylinder.
 
 
5. NSN 2915-01-065-3149; Noun: Aircraft Valve Float; Part Number: 2710944M3
The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements for qualification to deliver the Valve Float Aircraft, National Stock Number (NSN): 2915-01-065-3149, PN 2710944M3. The Government does not own or have access to the engineering data for these items. 
 
FUNCTION: Valve, Part No. 2710944M2 is a spring-loaded, piston-type valve, designed to operate with a remotely located float valve.  The valve essentially consists of a fitting assembly piston assembly, spring, and metering pin. Valve, Part No.   2710944M3 is similar to the M2 in configuration and operation, but uses a flange assembly in place of a fitting assembly, and a poppet in place of a piston assembly. The function of the two valves is similar with several differences in leading particulars. Disassembly and assembly procedures between the two valves are dissimilar.
 
 
6. NSN: 2915-01-094-3887: Noun: Pressure Valve; Part Number: 2790500-101
The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements for qualification to deliver the Valve Pressure, National Stock Number (NSN): 2915-01-094-3887, PN 2790500-101. The Government does not own or have access to the engineering data for these items. 
 
FUNCTION: The valve continuously senses tank pressure. During tank fueling operation, if the tank pressure exceeds a specified limit the valve will cause the fuel level control valve within the tank to shut preventing additional fueling and thus damage to the fuel tank from over pressurization. When the pressure exceeds a specified control valve is allowed to reopen.
 
 
7. NSN: 2915-01-097-2423; Noun: Aircraft Valve Float, Part Number: 2710853M4
The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements for qualification to deliver the Valve Float Aircraft, National Stock Number (NSN): 2915-01-097-2423, PN 2710853M4.

FUNCTION: The aircraft fuel tank float valves (valve), are float actuated shutoff valves used in conjunction with a remotely located shutoff valve. Each valve incorporates a poppet valve assembly consisting of a poppet and float, solenoid assembly, and armature housed in an aluminum alloy body. The only difference between the valves is the length of the connector lead from the solenoid assembly.
 
 
8. NSN 2915-01-116-0968; Noun: Aircraft Valve Float; Part Number: 2750027-104
The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements for qualification to deliver the Valve Float Aircraft, National Stock Number (NSN): 2915-01-116-0968, PN 2750027-104. The Government does not own or have access to the engineering data for these items. 
 
FUNCTION: The valve is a fuel tank mounted float actuated shutoff valve. With the float in the down position, the valve remains open permitting fuel flow. When fuel level rises, the float actuated poppet closes, shutting off fuel flow. The can fillers displace volume, thereby allowing the unit to shutoff rapidly. Each valve incorporates a solenoid assembly to pre check the valve for proper operation. With the solenoid energized, the armature is pulled against the solenoid assembly shutting off fuel flow from the reservoir causing the float to rise and the poppet to close. With the solenoid de-energized the armature is released and fuel is allowed to drain from the reservoir.
