National Education Society For Tribal Students Handloom Towels & Bed Sheets Tender Mandla Madhya Pradesh 2026 BIS IS 854 IS 745

Tender Overview

National Education Society For Tribal Students, operating under the Ministry Of Tribal Affairs, invites bids for Handloom Cotton Turkish Towels (IS 854, Q2) and Handloom Cotton Bed Sheets (IS 745, Q2). The project footprint covers items manufactured in the handloom sector with BIS certification requirements, including advance sample approvals and branding features. Estimated contract value is ₹60,048.00, with a formal option to adjust quantity by up to 25% during and after award. The tender includes mandatory Advance Sample submission within 5 days of contract award and downstream approval timelines, subject to modifications as directed by the buyer. Location-specific procurement context: Mandla, Madhya Pradesh (PIN 481102). A notable differentiator is the combination of IS-compliant towels and bed sheets with BIS and NABL/ILAC lab conformity expectations.

Key differentiators include: advance sample process, BIS certification requirement, screen-printed longitudinal markings and handloom mark, and a lab-tested conformity framework. The lack of a BOQ suggests a focused supply of standard sizes, colors, and weave configurations aligned to IS 854/IS 745 specifications.
