GEM Bangalore Clothing Tender 2026: IS 4375 IS 550 Garment Specifications, Karnataka

Tender Overview

The procurement opportunity is a GEM-GeM tender for apparel and related gear in Bengaluru (Karnataka 560001). The scope includes a multi-garment set (shirt/t-shirt, jacket/upper, pajama/lower) with fabric, trims, and finishing specifications anchored to IS standards such as IS 4375 for sizing and IS 2977 for dimensional stability. Notably, the BOQ lists extensive fabric and finish requirements (GSM, pH, colorfastness) and jacket specifics (hood, high-quality zipper, pockets, inside chest pocket). The contract requires a single-supply approach for a varied garment ensemble, with branding and sample approvals, and a need for advance samples prior to bulk manufacture. A key differentiator is the breadth of technical fabric criteria (blended percentages, PU coating, lining, Lycra content) and garment construction details. The tender emphasizes packaging, labeling, and NABL/ILAC test-report readiness on demand, with service-center presence in the consignee state prior to payment release. This is a data-rich clothing procurement meant to standardize supplier capabilities across the garment value chain while ensuring compliance with government procurement norms.
