To ensure that it has sufficient stocks of spares in case of
any eventualities, the Philippine Air Force (PAF) is looking for suppliers
capable of supplying with spare parts needed for the maintenance of the
communication navigation system of its brand-new Airbus Military C-295 medium
lift transport aircraft.
Budget for the project is placed at PHP3,384,844. Pre-bid
conference is on June 15, 9:00 a.m. at the PAF Procurement Center Conference
Room, Villamor Air Base, Pasay
City
While submission and opening of bids is one July 7, 9:00
a.m. at the same venue, said PAF bids and awards committee chair Brig. Gen.
Nicolas Parilla.
The PAF has three C-295 aircraft in its inventory. All three
are assigned to the 220th Airlift Wing which is based in Mactan, Cebu . All three planes are worth PHP5.3 billion.
The 220th Airlift Wing of the PAF will operate and maintain
the above-mentioned aircraft.
The PAF uses the medium lift aircraft for tactical and
medium airlift requirements, and are essential to internal security operations
in ferrying personnel and logistical requirements of different line/combat
units to any part of the country.
The timely deployment of troops and supplies is vital to
ensure the success of any military operations.
The Airbus Military C-295 is a new generation, very robust
and reliable, highly versatile tactical airlifter able to carry up to nine
tonnes of payload or up to 71 personnel, at a maximum cruise speed of 260 kt
/480 km/h.
Fitted with a retractable landing gear and a pressurized
cabin, it can cruise at altitudes up to 25,000 ft, while retaining remarkable
short take-off & landing (STOL) performance from unprepared short, soft and
rough airstrips, as well as low level flight characteristics.
