Construction of 10x10 Exhibition Booths for International Trade Shows

This tender from the Consulate General of Pakistan in New York calls for the construction of 10x10 booths for two major international trade shows: Sourcing at Magic in Las Vegas and Summer Fancy Food in New York City. The project involves building 50 booths for the February 2026 event and 10 booths for the June 2026 event, each featuring pegboard walls, printed banners, furniture, lighting, and electrical outlets. The scope includes detailed booth design and rendering, installation, dismantling, and cleaning services. The booths require a combination of hard pegboard walls, customized printing with company logos, and functional elements like information counters and waste bins. Electrical and lighting installations are integral, with four track lights and power outlets per booth. The contractor must ensure staff availability for setup adjustments the day before each show, reflecting the logistical challenges of working in busy convention centers in New York and Las Vegas. Bidders should note the requirement for registration as an EAC contractor with the show management. While the tender does not specify PEC categories or FBR/ATL status, contractors should ensure compliance with all relevant Pakistani and international trade regulations for 2025-26. It is advisable to prepare a Call Deposit Receipt (CDR) and ensure all documentation aligns with the financial year requirements. The submission deadline for the first event is the 26th of January 2026 at noon, with bid opening scheduled the same day at 4:00 PM. Bids must be submitted to the Consulate General of Pakistan at 12 East 65th Street, New York, NY 10065. The performance deadlines vary by event, with the first contract concluding by mid-February and the second by late June 2026. Pro-Tip: Carefully review the booth specifications and ensure your bid covers all listed items including lighting, electrical outlets, and booth design. Missing any component could lead to disqualification. Also, confirm your EAC contractor registration early to avoid last-minute issues.
