Indian Army ISMB/ISMC Structural Steel & Accessory Tender 2026 – Tata/Sail/Jindal Make, IS/ISMC Standards, 17.5 Million

Tender Overview

Indian Army under the Department of Military Affairs invites procurement of steel structural components and allied items, including ISMB 150 RSJ 150x75mm 5.70 mtr beams, ISMC 75x40 sections, welded plates, HT structural hardware, and prefabricated steel doors. Estimated value ₹17,500,000 with an EMD ₹350,000. Scope also covers HDPE sheets, tarfelt roll with hessian base, sand bags, load-bearing concrete blocks, natural/m-sand aggregates, and stone aggregates in multiple grades. The contract requires alignment to standardised brand options (TATA/SAIL/RINL/JINDAL), and delivery to unspecified Army locations. A key differentiator is mandatory design drawing approvals post-award and subsequent modification cycles; failure to obtain approvals on time triggers redefined delivery without LD. The opportunity is governed by specific T&C, with 2+ years govt procurement experience emphasized. The tender emphasizes non-obsolescence, GST compliance, and data-sheet conformity. This procurement supports field fabrication and construction needs for military equipment housing and infrastructure.
