Disposal of Unserviceable Public Assets Documents and Items

The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) Karachi is conducting a public auction for the disposal of unserviceable and redundant public assets documents and items. This procurement is specifically for the disposal of various categories of items including computer accessories, electrical/electronic items, furniture (wood), machinery/electric machinery, plastics, iron scrap, mixed scrap, hydrogen factory installations, air conditioners, and batteries. The auction is scheduled to be held on 28-04-2026 in Karachi. The technical scope includes a wide range of items that have outlived their utility and are physically inspected by the disposal committee. These items are categorized with reserve prices fixed per kilogram inclusive of applicable taxes. The disposal process involves weighing, transportation, and labor charges to be borne by the successful bidder. The items are located at PMD Karachi stores and bidders are encouraged to visit the site for inspection before the auction date. Eligibility criteria require bidders to be registered with FBR and listed on the Active Taxpayer List (ATL). Bidders must submit original CNIC, a banker cheque or pay order of Rs. 200,000 in favor of Director General PMD Karachi, and an affidavit on stamp paper stating no blacklisting or debarment. The auction will be conducted through oral bids with subsequent written bid submissions for the top three bidders. The highest bidder must deposit 1/4th of the bid amount on the spot. The registration for bidders will take place on the auction day from 09:00 AM to 11:00 AM at PMD Karachi. The submission deadline for bids is 28-04-2026 at 11:00 AM. The auction committee will issue gate passes and payment receipts to successful bidders. A practical tip for bidders is to thoroughly inspect the lots during the site visit arranged by PMD at least one week prior to the auction to avoid any complaints post-bidding and to prepare their financial and logistical arrangements accordingly. This auction offers a valuable opportunity for suppliers and scrap dealers in Karachi to acquire diverse items at competitive prices while ensuring compliance with public procurement regulations and tax obligations.
