Tender Overview
The Indian Space Research Organization, Department Of Space, seeks a supply-only tender for TIG welding equipment conforming to IS9604:1994 with latest amendments and BIS marking. The procurement emphasizes IS9604:1994 compliance and BIS certification as core standards. The scope focuses on a full TIG welding machine with specified performance parameters and a 1+ year warranty horizon. The tender highlights include bulk supply readiness, fresh-stock delivery, and option clauses enabling up to 25% quantity variation during contract execution. The procurement targets ISRO’s internal welding capability upgrade, with emphasis on standard-driven equipment and reliable after-sales terms. The BOQ shows zero items, indicating a single-category capital equipment purchase rather than a multi-line catalog. The opportunity requires bidders to align with government purchasing norms and ensure fresh stock delivery and adherence to regulatory standards.
