IISER Procurement Microbial Growth Chamber with Tunable Light Source & Temp Control India 2026

Tender Overview

The Indian Institutes Of Science Education And Research (IISER) intends to procure a Microbial Growth Chamber with tunable light source and temperature control for use under its Department of Higher Education operations in India. The scope includes Supply, Installation, Testing and Commissioning of the equipment, with the option to increase order quantity by up to 25% at contracted rates. Bidders must upload the product’s Data Sheet with the bid and provide an End User Certificate in the buyer’s format if requested. Experience playing a decisive role is reinforced by a govt-sector track record requirement and a corresponding Manufacturer Authorization when submitting via an OEM/distributor channel.

The tender emphasizes adherence to supply continuity and delivery alignment with original delivery timelines, including extended periods if the option clause is exercised. The contract contemplates flexible ordering during currency, and the data sheet mismatch risk is a critical evaluation factor for bid rejection. The procurement is positioned to support high-precision environmental chamber performance and laboratory-grade reliability for centralized academic research workflows.
