# Zero Defecation Program of the Municipality of Balungao, Pangasinan

Balungao Municipality sought bids for its Department of Health-funded Zero Defecation Program, with an approved budget of PHP 2,585,450 and a 45-day contract duration. The notice requires similar-contract experience and bid security; eligible participants include Filipino citizens and sole proprietorships, cooperatives, partnerships or organizations with at least 75% Filipino ownership. The current source snapshot, updated on 19 October, marks the notice closed and gives a 19 October 2026 deadline at 5:00 PM Philippine time (09:00 UTC). The earlier full notice body instead lists bids due 4 November 2026 at 2:00 PM and opening at 2:01 PM, with no time zone stated. The current PhilGEPS page confirms that the notice is closed but no longer shows its details or award information.
