Tender Overview
The Border Security Force (BSF) invites bids in 2025 for a broad range of paint and finishing supplies, including Apcolite paints (golden brown, black, white, sky blue, red, yellow, silver), Duco coatings (black, OG), thinners, primers, brushes, paint removers, varnish, silica gel, and white cotton cloth. The scope references 22 BOQ items with unspecified quantities, and an estimated value is not disclosed. The Buyer’s terms include a 25% quantity variation during contractual execution, enabling adjustments at contract rates.
