Tender Overview
The Indian Army, Department Of Military Affairs, seeks supply of Hains GenoType line probe assay kits including MTBDRplus, GenoType SL-LPA (MTBDRsl), GenoType Mycobacterium CM, and GenoType NTM-DR line probe assay. The estimated contract value is ₹2,226,231 with no BOQ items listed. Quantity is flexible under an option clause, and delivery terms are tied to original delivery periods with potential 50% quantity adjustments. Bidders must ensure product relevance and market life, avoiding end-of-life products. Manufacturer authorization and drug license compliance (where applicable) are required, along with delivery and post-award responsibilities outlined in ATC clauses.
Key differentiators include adherence to OEM authorization, non-obsolete status with a minimum 7 years residual market life, and demurrage provisions for unlifted items. This tender emphasizes continuous supply stability, replacement stock undertakings three months before expiry, and potential repeat orders up to 50% of the contracted quantity at same rates. The lack of BOQ details suggests that bidders should focus on supplying approved GenoType line probe assays that meet organizational requirements and ATC terms.
