Tender Overview
The Geological Survey Of India (GSI) invites bids for a polarizing microscope with transmitted and reflected light for the Petrology Lab, NCEGR, Faridabad, Haryana. The procurement scope includes a single instrument with an estimated value not disclosed, and an EMD of ₹86,640. Delivery location is the GSI facility at Faridabad, with installation and commissioning to be arranged at the same address. The contract allows a quantity variation of ±25% and sets delivery periods aligned to the original delivery timeline, ensuring flexible procurement within the extended window. A key differentiator is the requirement for installation at the designated Faridabad site and adherence to buyer-specified option clauses during the contract term. Unique to this tender is the combination of ISO 9001 certification requirements for the bidder or OEM and the use of Fixed Deposit Receipts (FDR) as an acceptable EMD/Performance Security option.
