Tender Overview
The Directorate General Of Quality Assurance (DGQA), under the Department Of Defence Production, invites a procurement tender for Flat Brushes for Paints and Varnishes for Heavy Duty as per IS 384 (Part 1) and related packaging. The location is HOSHANGABAD, MADHYA PRADESH - 461001, aligning with government lab testing and IS compliance expectations. The scope emphasizes ISI-marked brushes and compatible thinner for cellulose nitrate based paints and lacquers. A key differentiator is the requirement for government-lab test reports and a defined warranty framework, with emphasis on standard conformance and shelf-life information. The tenderโs non-BOQ nature implies a focused requirement set and a flexible quantity approach under option clauses, typical of DGQA sourcing for inspection-grade consumables. This procurement underscores strict adherence to Indian standards, packaging, and shelf details, as part of ensuring heavy-duty coating operations meet Defence Production specifications.
