Zimbabwe Manpower Development Fund wants original-only HP toner — W9004, the W2030–2033 and W2300–2303 sets and CF540–543 — plus 100 Eversharp black pens, for Bulawayo. Bids close 2 October 2026 at 13:31 CAT.

ZIMDEF is buying printer toner for its Bulawayo office, and every cartridge line is marked "originals only". The cartridges are 4 × W9004, 3 × W2300, and 2 each of W2030, W2031, W2032, W2033, W2301, W2302, W2303, CF540 and CF541, plus 1 each of CF542 and CF543. The W2030–2033 and W2300–2303 ranges are black-and-colour sets, as are the CF540–543, so this covers several different machines. The notice also includes 100 Eversharp black pens, despite being titled as a toner requirement. Delivery is to ZIMDEF House, 102 Fort Street, mezzanine floor, Bulawayo within 7 days on the regular agency fund, with quotations valid for 30 days.

• No tender document fee — the notice lists the bid form fee as 0.

• "Originals only" is stated on every cartridge line, so compatibles and refills will be rejected however they are priced — be ready to evidence genuine HP stock.
• Thirteen different cartridge references on a 7-day window is the real risk here; check you can source all of them, because a part-supply is likely to be marked down.
• The W2030 and W2300 families each come in standard and high-yield versions under different suffixes; confirm the yield wanted.
• The 100 Eversharp pens sit oddly in a toner notice and name a brand; confirm they are in the priced schedule.
