Vendor is required to supply 16 fire water hydrants and 8 foam/water monitors to PSO's Karachi aviation station.
The contract demands FM or UL certification for monitors, compliance with NFPA 24 and British Standards (BS5154, BS5041) for hydrants, and material test certificates from original equipment manufacturers. Notably, vendor must arrange and demonstrate a sample unit at PSO's designated location at own cost before procurement can proceed—approval is mandatory. All hydrants require witnessed hydrostatic testing. This is a medium-scale procurement with stringent quality, testing, and certification requirements typical of aviation safety-critical applications.
