Tender Details
Description / Scope of Work
Pakistan State Oil Company Limited invites quotations for the supply of fifty electronic air gauges intended for PSO retail outlets at the Central Store, Keamari Terminal, Karachi, Sindh. The tender reference RC-19850IA (SAP No. 6100017595) seeks equipment meeting detailed technical specifications including AC 220–240 V, 50 Hz single-phase operation, operating temperature range of −5°C to +50°C, maximum inflation pressure of 145 psi, and a 25 mm backlit LCD display with audible and visual signals. Each unit must feature a minimum 20 ft steel-braided hose rated at 250 psi, IP54 protection rating or above, weather and water-proof aluminium casing, and automatic calibration error detection. The estimated procurement value and scope suggest a medium-scale commercial purchase for nationwide PSO retail network expansion.
Bidders must provide bid security of Rs. 50,000 and submit detailed technical compliance documentation mapping their proposed equipment specification-by-specification against PSO requirements. Eligible suppliers are expected to hold standard business registration (SECP/NTN) and provide product literature, country of origin certificates, and warranty details. Vendors must arrange third-party factory inspection before shipment under MIL standard 105 E, Level-III, AQL 1.0, and deliver goods free of inspection defects. An 18-month free maintenance warranty (or 12 months post-commissioning, whichever is earlier) is mandatory.
Quotations must be submitted by 2:15 PM on 13 August 2026 to PSO House, Khayaban-e-Iqbal, Clifton, Karachi. Delivery is required within 90 days of purchase order issuance. Late delivery incurs penalty charges at 0.1% per day of undelivered value, capped at 10% of order value. Interested vendors should contact PSO procurement at telephone (021) 9203866–85 or fax (021) 9203796 for tender documents and clarifications.
For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
PSO is procuring fifty industrial-grade electronic air gauges for petrol station deployment. The equipment is moderately specialized—requiring surge protection, precise pressure calibration (±0.5 psi), and extended warranty—but not bespoke. Bidders must submit third-party-inspectable samples before shipment and embed fixed asset numbers. The 90-day delivery window is reasonable but late-delivery penalties are strict (0.1% daily, max 10%). This appears a one-time capex purchase rather than recurring supply, with emphasis on reliability and traceability for retail network standardization.
Who can bid: Bidders typically require SECP business registration, active NTN, and proven experience in electrical equipment supply. No explicit category restriction stated; however, goods suppliers and authorized distributors of pressure/inflation equipment are implicitly preferred. Bidders must be able to arrange pre-shipment third-party inspection at factory premises.
