Dear Sir,

With reference to the tender "Procurement of PAA Aircraft Spares AP-CAB and AP-CAC" bearing Reference P75250, we respectfully seek clarification on the following points:

1. Delivery Period – Package-1

The tender document specifies a delivery period of 15 days for Package-1. We would like to submit that the required aircraft spares are imported OEM items and are not locally available stock items. Therefore, completing the procurement, import, and delivery process within 15 days is practically not feasible.

The normal procurement timeline for imported aircraft spares includes:

Bank processing for advance foreign remittance (subject to State Bank of Pakistan regulations and USD payment processing): approximately 7–10 days.

OEM order processing and dispatch: approximately 7–10 days.

International shipping and customs clearance in Pakistan: approximately 7–10 days.

Accordingly, the overall lead time for such imported items is generally 30–45 days, even under normal circumstances.

We therefore request the Procuring Agency to kindly review and revise the delivery period for Package-1 to a realistic timeframe of 30–45 days to ensure fair competition and practical compliance by all prospective bidders.

2. Item Description – Package-2

We also seek clarification regarding the following items under Package-2:

TROJAN L16G-AC-LT – Qty: 05

TROJAN L16G-4V6V-LT – Qty: 01

Upon review of the OEM product specifications, it appears that both line items refer to the same battery model, i.e., TROJAN L16G-AC, and no separate OEM part number corresponding to L16G-4V6V-LT could be identified.

We kindly request the Procuring Agency to clarify whether both line items are intended to be the same OEM battery model or whether the second item contains a typographical error requiring correction. This clarification will enable all prospective bidders to submit technically compliant and comparable bids.

We shall be grateful for your prompt clarification on the above matters.

Thank you.
