US firm offering 21 Hueys for P1.2B to Philippines



A California-based firm is offering the government 21 UH-1 or Huey helicopters for P1.2646 billion for use in the May elections.
The Air Force made the request for additional Hueys in 2011.
The offer was accepted because the amount is lower than the allotted P1.2649 billion.
Rice Aircraft Services Inc. was the sole bidder for the helicopters.
It was declared an eligible bidder after submitting all the necessary documentary requirements to the Bids and Awards Committee.
Defense Undersecretary Fernando Manalo told The STAR the helicopters will be delivered by March 31, weeks before the elections.
