Tender Overview
The Border Security Force (BSF), under the Central Armed Police Forces, intends to procure a Standard F Immunoassay Analyzer. No explicit BOQ quantity or unit price is provided; however, the buyer’s terms specify a flexible quantity option of up to 25% increase/decrease at contract, with delivery starting from the last date of the original order.
