Aviation Spares Depot (EME) at Army Aviation Base, Multan invites sealed tenders from reputed firms possessing valid NTN certificates for the supply of expendables items as detailed in Annexure A. The procurement will be executed in accordance with PPRA rules, with purchase orders placed in batches and reduced quantities based on immediate operational requirements. The tender reference is 81201/01/LP/EME/ASD/dated 04 Aug 2026, and delivery periods stipulated are 30 days for local stores and 90 days for foreign stores, with offers valid until 30 June 2027.

Eligible bidders must be registered firms cleared by MI Directorate, possess current NTN and sales tax registration certificates, and must not be blacklisted or banned by any government organisation. Firms with pending deliveries from the last financial year are ineligible. Each bid requires 5% earnest money as a pay order or bank draft made payable to CO ASD EME Multan, along with a tender fee of Rs. 3,000. Firms must submit a performance guarantee of 8% of the contract base value (excluding 18% taxes) within 14 days of order placement.

This is a batch procurement of expendables for military aviation operations, with flexible order quantities tied to operational demand. The short 30-day local and 90-day foreign delivery windows indicate recurring supply needs rather than a one-off contract. Firms must be registered with MI Directorate and have clean compliance records; the 5% earnest money and 8% performance guarantee suggest medium-scale annual commitments. The requirement to supply shelf-life items at 70% remaining shelf-life and strict warranty obligations (14-day fault rectification) indicate quality-critical procurement for aviation safety.

Who can bid: Bidders must possess NTN certificates, current sales tax registration, and clearance from MI Directorate. Blacklisted or banned firms are excluded, as are those with pending deliveries from the previous financial year. Typically for government supplies, firms must demonstrate adequate financial capability and provide bank statements (one year for new vendors). Authorization documentation for imported branded items is compulsory.
