NLC seeks new reach stackers and fork lifters for cold storage at Karachi port—a substantial equipment procurement combining supply and commissioning.
The deadline is tight (90-day delivery post-LOI) and eligibility is strict, requiring 3–5 years proven experience in these specific equipment types, OEM authorization if importing, and full tax compliance. Bidders must provide extensive technical documentation and client references. This appears a one-time capital equipment acquisition rather than a recurring framework, making proposal quality critical to success.

NTN/STRN registration with active tax filing is mandatory. Authorization from OEM required for non-manufacturers. Not-blacklisted certification necessary.
