The Philippine Air Force (PAF) has allocated the sum of
PHP39,955,357.32 for the acquisition of spare parts needed for the maintenance
of the engine, electrical, airframe, fuel, and instrument system of one of its
McDonnell Douglas MG-520 "Defender" attack helicopters.
Submission and opening of bids is on March 8, 9:00 a.m. at
the PAF Procurement Center Conference Room, Villamor Air Base, Pasay City
Prospective bidders should have an experience in a similar
project within the last five years.
The PAF is known to operate between 12 to 16 models of the
MG-520, according to military sources.
The PAF affair with the MG-520 started in the early 90s when
25 units of these excellent aircraft were delivered to country.
It was used with great effect against New People's Army
(NPA) rebels and lawless elements like the Abu Sayyaf Group for the past few
years.
The MG-520 is derived from the MG-500 light utility
helicopter.
It can be armed with .50 caliber heavy machines and
air-to-ground rockets.
