DND CASA pre-bid conference slated for Sept. 16

From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 6): DND CASA pre-bid conference slated for Sept. 16

The Department of National Defense (DND), in a supplemental bid bulletin, has announced that the pre-bid conference for its PhP4,968,000,000 close-air support aircraft (CASA) project has been scheduled this coming Sept. 16.

It will be held at the DND Bidding and Awards Committee conference room, basement right wing, DND Building, Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City at 9 a.m.

It was postponed pending the signing of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Modernization Program.

The DND is planning to acquire six CAS aircraft to replace or beef up the Air Force's existing Rockwell OV-10 "Bronco" turboprop attack planes.

CAS refers to capability to provide air support to infantry and naval units in contact with the enemy.

The contract includes integrated logistic support system.

Winning bidders must be able to deliver the aircraft within 540 calendar days from contract effectivity.

Participants in the DND's CAS project must have completed a similar program within the last 10 years.

The CAS aircraft must be used by the countries offering and manufacturing them.
