Tender Overview
The Indian Army, under the Department Of Military Affairs, seeks a supplier for a range of office and stationery products: Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Tapes with Plastic Base (V4) conforming to IS 13262 (Q4) and Register (V2) (Q4), Paper Adhesives, Liquid Gum and Office Paste Type (V2) conforming to IS 2257 (Q3), Plain Copier Paper ISI marked to IS 14490 (Q4), File/Folder (V3) (Q4), Staple Pins/Staples (V3) (Q4), and Correspondence Envelopes conforming to IS 13892 (Q4). The tender aggregates multiple item families into a single procurement action aimed at standard office consumables for military use, with conformity to quality standards and packaging requirements. The absence of a BOQ implies a broad spectrum scope and potential multi-line supply. The option clause permits quantity adjustments of up to ±25% during contract execution, with delivery timelines tied to order increments and extended periods. A pre-award sample requirement is specified for quality verification. This opportunity is positioned to bidders supplying standardized ISI/IS-marked stationery within the government procurement framework of the Indian Army.
