The state security agency requires quotations for two satellite communication equipment lines: bgans satellite 510 (quantity 2) and bgan satellite 710 (quantity 1). Bidders must submit a quotation on company letterhead, valid for 30 days, indicating delivery period and whether the offer is strictly to specification.
