The Armed Forces of the Philippines, through the Philippine Air Force Bids and Awards Committee, is allocating the sum of PHP150,251,000 for the acquisition of spare parts needed for the maintenance of its 12 South Korean-made FA-50PH aircraft.
The parts are for FA-50PHs with tail numbers beginning from 001 to 012.
Pre-bid conference is scheduled on July 1 at the PAF Procurement Center Conference Room of the Villamor Air Base in Pasay City at around 9 a.m.
While deadline for submission and bid opening is on July 15, 9:15 a.m., at the same venue. Prospective bidders should have an experience in a similar project within the last five years.
"The Philippine Air Force reserves the right to reject any and all bids, declare a failure of bidding, or not award the contract at any time in accordance with Section 41 of RA 9184 (Government Procurement Reform Act) and its IRR (implementing rules and regulations), without incurring any liability to the affected bidders," PAF Bids and Awards Committee chair, Brig. Gen. Carlo Bueno N. Buena said, at the bid bulletin posted Wednesday at the Philippine Government Electronic Procurement System.
The Philippines' contract with Korea Aerospace Industries for the 12 FA-50PHs worth Php18.9 billion was signed on February 2014.
The FA-50PHs has a top speed of Mach 1.5 or one and a half times the speed of sound and is capable of being fitted with air-to-air missiles, including the AIM-9 "Sidewinder" air-to-air, heat-seeking missiles aside from light automatic cannons.
The FA-50PH will act as the country's interim fighter until the Philippines get enough experience of operating fast jet assets and money to fund the acquisition of more capable fighter aircraft.
The FA-50PH design is largely derived from the F-16 "Fighting Falcon", having many similarities such as use of a single engine, speed, size, cost, and the range of weapons.
