Indian Navy Tender for Security/Technical Equipment Procurement 2025 - ISI/ISO Standards, 50% Quantity Option

Tender Overview

The Indian Navy invites bids for multiple EL4977B-series items under a centralized government procurement framework. The opportunity involves up to 30 distinct items with unspecified exact quantities, with an estimated contract value not disclosed. The procurement site emphasizes detailed design drawings approval, data sheet verification, and non-obsolescence as core bid prerequisites. A key differentiator is the option clause enabling up to 50% quantity variation at contracted rates, plus a structured delivery timeline linked to the original delivery period and extended periods. This tender targets suppliers capable of timely fabrication and alignment with buyer-approved drawings, with GST considerations addressed by bidders.
