1. Summary. The Indonesian Air Force (AF) verified that a
division of the Air Force Procurement Service has ordered
the C-130 radar components detailed in reftel. The AF seeks
to purchase the C-130 radar components through their local
agent PT. Dwi Anugrah, which sub-contracted the order to the
Singapore firm Sintong Trading Company. Dwi Anugrah
officials declined to meet with us, but said they are not
certain whether the transaction is still pending due to the
possible expiry of their letter of credit. End summary.
2. We contacted Indonesian AF Credit Export Officer Colonel
Yuri Afiuddin Anwar on February 28, 2006 to confirm the
order of C-130 radar components described in reftel.
Colonel Yuri confirmed that AF Sub-Service Electronic
Procurement Division, a division of the Air Force
Procurement Service, has ordered the components listed in
reftel. Colonel Yuri noted that the Singaporean firm
Sintong Trading Company is a business counterpart of the
AF's local agent PT. Dwi Anugrah, which first received the
order from the AF.
3. The AF Procurement Service ordered the C-130 radar parts
under contract number 133/2113/D5/DP/2005/AF through Dwi
Anugrah, which is located in Ruko Royal Sunter Block A-25,
North Jakarta, Indonesia. We called Dwi Anugrah and
confirmed that Oki Benjamin Odang is the company's director,
a point the AF also confirmed in a telephone conversation.
4. We requested a follow-up meeting with Dwi Anugrah to
review and verify documentation on April 3, but they
declined to meet. Mr. Suwandi (one name only),on behalf of
the company suggested he would first get confirmation from
Sintong whether the transaction remains viable, and only
then would meet us to review documentation if necessary.
Suwandi stated that the order from the AF is legitimate and
said his company sub-contracted it to Sintong, which in turn
opened a letter of credit (L/C) for the order. Suwandi
expressed concern that the L/C may have expired due to
delays in processing the order.
