Indian Army Solder & Welding Materials Tender Ajmer Rajasthan 2026 - ISO 9001 BIS Licences Required

Tender Overview

The opportunity is issued by the Indian Army (Department of Military Affairs) for a broad range of metal supply items, including soldering alloys, copper and steel products, and related consumables, to be delivered in Ajmer, Rajasthan. The procurement covers 23 items with unspecified unit quantities in the BOQ but an emphasis on compliance with quality and certification requirements. Key differentiators include mandatory ISO 9001 certification, BIS-related licenses, and an option clause permitting up to 25% quantity variation at contracted rates. A sample inspection requirement precedes technical bid opening, with an advance sample due one day prior. The contract expects a warranty on delivered items and a formal escalation matrix for support. Unique aspects include a mix of welding consumables and metal products, with emphasis on standard compliance rather than a single product line, and a clearly defined option clause that can extend delivery timelines as needed.
