Border Roads Organisation Detonating Cord Tender Detonation Velocity, Tensile Strength & Core Charge Material 2025

Tender Overview

The opportunity is issued by the Border Roads Organisation under the Department of Defence for procurements categorized as Detonating Cord (Q3). The tender references core technical parameters such as core charge material, cord diameter, tensile strength, detonation velocity (m/sec), powder amount (g/m) and shelf life. No BOQ items or quantities are listed, and the estimated contract value is not disclosed. A notable clause allows quantity variation up to 25% during placement and currency of contract, with delivery periods recomputed using a defined formula. The procurement context focuses on robust explosive safety components for defence applications, with emphasis on maintaining precise performance specs under variable demand.
