Supply of Anti Smoke Goggles for Fire Brigade Department Karachi

The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation Finance & Accounts Department Contract Management Wing invites bids for the supply of Anti Smoke Goggles specifically for the Fire Brigade Department in Karachi. This procurement is critical for enhancing the safety equipment of the Fire Brigade and is based in Karachi, Sindh. The scope includes supplying 800 units of Anti Smoke Goggles with heat-resistant lenses, anti-smoke, fog and scratch coatings, flame-retardant frames, and compatibility with SCBA masks and fire helmets. The goggles must meet PPE standards for fire services and originate from China or an equivalent source. Interested bidders must be registered with relevant authorities including NTN and FBR, and have at least three years of relevant experience in supplying firefighting equipment or similar items. They must also have completed at least one similar supply contract with KMC in the last three years and demonstrate an average annual turnover not less than the bid amount. The bid security is 5% of the estimated cost, and a non-refundable bidding document fee of Rs. 5,000 is required. Bids must be submitted online via the Sindh EPADS portal and the original bidding document fee pay order must be delivered to the KMC office by the deadline. The submission deadline is 3:00 p.m. on 22 June 2026, with bid opening at 3:30 p.m. on the same day. Bidders should ensure their bids are substantially responsive and comply with all eligibility and evaluation criteria. A practical tip for bidders is to carefully prepare the technical and financial bids ensuring no item in the price schedule is left blank or without a quoted rate, as this will lead to rejection. Also, submit all required documents including affidavits on judicial stamp papers regarding no blacklisting and no litigation. Strict adherence to bid security and submission procedures will avoid disqualification. This tender offers a valuable opportunity for suppliers specializing in fire safety equipment to engage with a major municipal department in Karachi with a contract period of six months and a penalty clause for delays.
