Tender Overview
The Indian Air Force, Department of Military Affairs, invites bids for multiple electrical and mechanical components across three product families: AIR HOSE, MAGNETIC PICKUP UNIT, and DC-DC CONVERTER CARD. While the BOQ shows no quantified items, the buyerโs terms authorize a quantity variation of up to 25% during both initial and extended delivery windows. Bidders must ensure compliance with ISO 9001 certification either themselves or through the OEM. The procurement context centers on high-reliability flight support and ground handling equipment, with emphasis on standard-compliant supply and adaptable delivery timing aligned to project needs. The ATC document indicates supplier accountability for quality management and delivery planning under fluctuating order volumes. This opportunity requires bidders to prepare to scale orders and maintain ISO 9001 quality assurances in a government framework. The absence of explicit start/end dates suggests a flexible bidding window, while the option clause implies potential future orders at contracted rates. This tender prioritizes certified quality assurance and responsive logistics to support IAF operations in dynamic mission environments.
