The Philippines’ National Irrigation Administration Region III has published its 2026 invitation-to-bid listing. The schedule includes drilled solar-powered pump irrigation projects in Tangle, Capalangan and Gumain RIS, Colonia, Pantubig and Sta. Lucia SPIPs, plus projects in Aurora, Nueva Ecija and Zambales.
The listing also shows a 5.5 HP solar-powered pump with a supply canal in the Kadaratan CIP project, and separate solar pump projects in Upper San Vicente, San Roque, Floridablanca and Cupang. Published approved-budget figures vary by scope, from about PHP 9.45 million for single-unit projects to PHP 62.62 million for projects covering Aurora and Nueva Ecija.
For buyers, the document is a useful reminder that pump selection is only one part of a public irrigation package. Site drilling, water-surface conditions, canal works, civil construction, controls, commissioning and multi-year maintenance should be matched to the tender scope before comparing equipment.
FAQ
Does the listing confirm that every project has been awarded?
No. It is an invitation-to-bid listing, not an award notice. Final suppliers and delivery schedules depend on the procurement process.
What should an equipment supplier check first?
Check the technical specifications, water source, required head and flow, civil-works boundary, electrical architecture, testing requirements and maintenance obligations in the individual bid documents.
