GEM Spectrophotometer Tender 2026 – IS 61010-1/61326-1 Compliant, UL/CE, NABL Testing

Tender Overview

GEM (Government E-Marketplace) invites bids for a SPECTROPHOTOMETER under the LIGHT SOURCE and OPTICAL PERFORMANCE categories, with multiple technical attributes listed (diffraction grating, monochromator type, detector, bandwidth, wavelength range, photometric modes, display features). The tender specifies an option to increase/decrease quantity by up to 25% during or after contract award, with deliveries pegged to original/extended periods and a minimum 30-day extension rule. An OEM authorization is mandatory, along with a warranty undertaking and onsite service. The scope emphasizes conformance to safety and EMC/EMI standards (EN 61010-1:2010, EN 61326-1:2013) and NABL/ILAC lab test reports. The BOQ shows no items enumerated, suggesting a turnkey single-system procurement or a highly specification-driven purchase. The opportunity targets suppliers capable of offering a complete spectrophotometer package with spares, consumables, and potential after-sales support, including UL/CE certification readiness.
