Indian Navy Personal Media Device Tender Lakshadweep IPv6 Ready Malicious Code Certificate 2025

Tender Overview

Indian Navy invites bids for a Personal Media Device procurement with delivery to INS JATAYU, MINICOY ISLAND, LAKSHADWEEP. The bid specifies hardware compliance, security controls, and lifecycle requirements; the absence of a BOQ suggests a focused device category aligned with government IT ergonomics. A key differentiator is the security posture emphasis including IPv6 readiness and malicious code certification, aimed at ensuring robust procurement for military networks.

Bidders should prepare to demonstrate ongoing servicing capability and non-obsolescence guarantees for a five-year market life expectation, per terms.
