Tender Overview

The Indian Army, Department Of Military Affairs, invites bids for Covered Electrodes for Manual Metal Arc Welding of Stainless Steel and Other Similar High Alloy Steel (V2) conforming to IS 5206 (Q3). Procurement occurs in Kamrup, Assam 781001, with an EMD of ₹96,444 and an undefined estimated value. The scope covers electrode classification, core wire diameter tolerances, length tolerances, welding current/voltage, and packaging details as per the governing IS 5206 standards. The procurement emphasizes non-obsolescence, OEM OEM/authorisation, and bidder integrity. A unique clause allows quantity variation up to 50% during order and currency, with delivery timing linked to the original delivery window. Key differentiators include compliance with prescribed IS standards and explicit acceptance of OEM authorisation where applicable. This tender targets bidders capable of supplying consistent, ISI-compliant electrodes suitable for high-alloy steel welding in defense applications. The lack of BOQ items suggests a focused specification package rather than a broad category purchase, with emphasis on product conformity and supplier credibility. The tender requires bidders to demonstrate years of production and supply experience to government bodies, ensuring market life and post-award reliability. Unique terms stress confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations.
