Indian Army Antivirus Software Tender Jammu & Kashmir 2025 PAC Only Q2

Tender Overview

The opportunity is with the Indian Army under the Department of Military Affairs, issued for Antivirus Software (Q2) – PAC Only in Jammu, Jammu & Kashmir – 180001. Specific BOQ items are not listed; the contract anticipates software-procurement of antivirus products with data sheet alignment, and an OEM/authorized distributor pathway. The absence of a visible estimated value or start/end dates requires bidders to rely on standard government procurement practices and to ensure data-sheet alignment and compliance with mandatory certificates. A notable differentiator is the requirement for a Malicious Code Certificate and an OEM Authorization when using distributors. The procurement context emphasizes security software aligned to government standards, with compliance controls, vendor code creation, and data-sheet verification. Unique terms include a 50% quantity variance option and the emphasis on 3-year supply experience to government bodies.
