KPT seeks repair and maintenance of perimeter security fencing (concertina/barbed wire and grills) across West Wharf terminal—a recurring maintenance contract under FY 2026-27 budget.
Scope involves inspection, repair, and component replacement at multiple port locations. Scale appears medium; this is infrastructure upkeep rather than new construction. Deadline is tight (October 2026) with same-day bid opening. EPADS-only submission eliminates manual bidding option—digital capability mandatory. Likely suited to fabricators with port/industrial security experience and established maintenance frameworks.
Who can bid: Bidders must register on EPADS v2.0 (mandatory). No specific PEC category or NTN/SECP registration explicitly stated, but typically all federal tender participants require NTN, active business registration, and tax compliance. Port facilities often impose additional security clearance or port-user authorization requirements—verify directly with KPT.
