Tender Overview
The Indian Army, operating under the Department Of Military Affairs, advertises a procurement tender for multiple mechanical assemblies including Assy Universal Joint, Assy Prop Shaft Complete, Gear Lever Kit, Booster Assy, Master Cyl Assy, Air Pressure Pipe, Belt Tensioner, Spider Bearing, Chain Sprocket Kit, and Assy Universal Joint Yoke. The BOQ lists 10 items, with all item details marked as N/A in the provided data, and no explicit start/end dates or estimated value available. The tender uses a flexible quantity clause allowing +/- 25% variation and requires adherence to the option clause during contract execution. This procurement aims to equip military vehicles with critical drive-train and hydraulic components, ensuring standardized replacements and compatibility across platforms. The absence of concrete specifications highlights the need for bidders to propose compliant, OEM-aligned substitutions and maintain supply readiness for defense logistics. A clear differentiator is the mandatory option-based quantity adjustment at contracted rates, which can influence planning and cash flow for suppliers.
