ALCM F107-WR-101 engine. This is a military-unique engine as is the priming fluid used to start it and
has no commercial application. This priming fluid specification contains military-unique additives required
for continual use of the priming fluid in current systems.
Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents must specify the following:
6.2
a. Title, number, and date of this specification.
b. Issue of DoDISS to be cited in the solicitation, and if required, the specific issue of individual
documents referenced (see 2.2.1 and 2.3).
c.
Quantity desired.
d. Type and size of the containers (see 5.1).
