This is a substantial petroleum product disposal auction by the Pakistan Army involving 228,053 litres of used engine oil plus lubricant stocks across five Punjab-based depots. The estimated value appears medium to large based on volume. Bidders must be pre-qualified, suggesting established market players only. The tight deadline (bid closing and opening on the same day) and requirement for earnest money deposits indicate a formal, competitive process. This appears to be a one-time surplus disposal rather than a recurring contract, typical of military inventory clearance operations.

Who can bid: Pre-qualified firms are explicitly required. No specific PEC category or registration authority is mentioned. Typically such petroleum product auction bidders require NTN registration, membership in relevant trade associations, and prior experience in fuel trading or auction participation. Firms must demonstrate financial capacity to provide the earnest money deposit up to ten lac rupees.
