Industries And Mines Department Gujarat Offset Printing Ink Tender 2026 – IS 550 & PPE/AAA standards, 20 Lakh Turnover, EMD ₹30000

Tender Overview

The opportunity is issued by the Industries And Mines Department Gujarat for the procurement of Offset Printing Ink (general specifications with color, compatibility, dampening system readiness, and ink tack) at an estimated value of ₹1,000,000. The contract contemplates a potential quantity adjustment of up to ±25% at the bid stage and during the contract period, with prices fixed at contracted rates. The tender targets bidders capable of meeting quality, shelf-life, and packaging requirements, and it emphasizes documented turnover and prior government/GeM experience. The tender is scoped for suppliers who can deliver to a Gujarat location, align with machine speed and dampening system compatibility, and ensure IS standards conformance where applicable.
