Indian Army Procurement Tender 1041xxx Steel Angles & Related Products - 2026 ISI/AAA/TRTL Notified Materials

Tender Overview

The opportunity is issued by the Indian Army under the Department Of Military Affairs for a broad set of items including steel angles (various sizes), electronic welding steel mild general purpose, paints, adhesives, solvents, and related consumables. The tender lists 40 BOQ items with diverse material categories such as steel angles 40x40x6 mm, 50x50x5 mm, 25x25x3 mm, and finishing products like paint RFU and varnishes. The estimated value is not disclosed, but the EMD is ₹196,309. The scope appears to cover supply and potentially cross-category procurement for maintenance and construction needs, with standard govt procurement practices. A key differentiator is the inclusion of a broad, multi-line requirement from welding steel to marking paints, signaling a single supplier capable of diverse supply. Unique aspects include a large variety of general-use items and a formal “Vendor Code Creation” process embedded in the terms. This reduces vendor fragmentation and supports centralized inventory management for Army depots. The tender emphasizes compliance with GST and financial standing checks, and requires OEM authorization where applicable.
