The Philippine Air Force (PAF) is allocating PHP12 million for the acquisition of main rotor dampers for two of its AgustaWestland AW-109 attack helicopters.

The parts are for AW-109 attack helicopters with tail numbers 821 and 822.

Prospective bidders should have an experience in a similar project within the past five years.

"The Philippine Air Force reserves the right to reject any bids, declare a failure of bidding, or not award the contract at any time prior to contract award in accordance with Section 41 of RA (Republic Act) 9184 and its IRR (Implementing Rules and Regulations), without incurring any liability to the affected bidder or bidders," PAF Bids and Awards chair, Brig.
