Tender Overview

The Indian Air Force (Department of Military Affairs) seeks procurement of AC 6 PIN NATO SOCKET. The tender involves a supply scope for a defined but unspecified quantity with a key risk-bearing clause allowing the purchaser to vary quantities by up to 25% of the bid quantity at contract placement and during the currency of the contract at contracted rates. Delivery timelines hinge on the original delivery period and may extend following the option clause, with a calculated extension formula: (Increase in quantity / Original quantity) × Original delivery period, minimum 30 days. The bidding context references a specific unit (48 WG PHALODI) but provides no BOQ items or estimated value. The absence of explicit Start/End dates and location indicates a need for bidders to confirm site delivery and compatibility with standard NATO 6-pin sockets. AATC clauses may influence compliance and delivery logistics. This tender requires bidders to align with the procurement rules of the Indian Air Force and to prepare for potential quantity fluctuations and extended delivery windows. The opportunity sits within military hardware supply, demanding precise NATO socket compatibility and fast-response delivery capabilities.
