Bangladesh’s military procurement agency, the Directorate General Defence Purchases (DGPD), has issued a notice to foreign vendors to submit bids, in support of a programme to procure howitzers for the Bangladesh Army, reports IHS Jane.
The notice was issued in late September, which outlines a requirement to obtain 155mm light-weight towed howitzers. One of the requirements includes transporting the howitzers via fixed-wing aircraft.
In order to support the procurements, the DGDP requests the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to supply it with technical offers, brochure, manuals and price lists.
Details about the number of systems of the value of the procurement have not been disclosed by the DGDP, though the requirement is thought to cover 18 artillery units.
