# Sacks for sandbagging and mitigation activities in Tarlac

The Province of Tarlac invites public bids for sacks used in sandbagging and related mitigation activities. The retained full invitation states an Approved Budget for the Contract of PHP 2,500,000, a 15-day delivery period and a PHP 5,000 fee for the bidding documents. It requires bid security and similar-contract experience, limits eligibility under RA 5183, and uses competitive pass/fail bidding. The current PhilGEPS listing lists an open deadline of 28 October 2026 at 2:00 pm Philippine time (06:00 UTC), while the preserved prior invitation gives 26 October; the two dated records differ. The notice records one lot of sacks; detailed specifications are in the bidding documents.
