Disposal of 10,503 Bags Punjab Wheat and Likely Infested Local Wheat Stock at PRC Zhob

The Commodities Department Balochistan invites sealed bids for the disposal of approximately 10,503 bags (105 metric tons) of Punjab wheat and likely infested local wheat stock currently stored at PRC Zhob. This procurement is specific to the city of Zhob and involves the sale of wheat stock from the 2022-2023 purchases. The stock includes both sound Punjab wheat and moderately infested local wheat, sold on an As-Is, Where-Is basis. The department has conducted technical inspections and lab reports through AARI Faisalabad, confirming mild to moderate infestation in some local wheat portions. Eligible bidders include licensed flour mills, grain traders, animal feed manufacturers, and industrial users. Bidders must not be blacklisted by any government or autonomous body and must provide proof of NTN and GST registration where applicable. The bid security requires 5% of the total bid value as Earnest Money in the form of a Call Deposit Receipt (CDR) or Bank Draft favoring the Director Commodities Department Balochistan. The sale will follow a FIFO (First-In, First-Out) basis with 100% weight verification at the time of release. The minimum reserve prices are set between PKR 7,200 to 8,000 per 100 kg for sound Punjab wheat and PKR 4,200 to 4,600 per 100 kg for local infested wheat. The successful bidder must deposit the remaining 95% of the total value within seven working days of the Acceptance Letter issuance. The department encourages bidders to inspect the stock at PRC Zhob during working hours before submission. Loading, transportation, and labor costs from the godowns to the final destination are the buyer’s responsibility. The submission deadline is 4th June 2026. Bidders should ensure all documentation, including Earnest Money and registration certificates, are complete and submitted timely. A practical tip is to physically inspect the stock beforehand to assess quality and infestation levels, which will help in preparing a competitive and realistic bid.
