EAR MUFFS

Tender Overview

  • Organization: Indian Army (Department Of Military Affairs) operating in DARJEELING, WEST BENGAL - 734001 for the procurement of Ear Muffs (Q3). Estimated value: ₹150,000.00. Scope centers on protective hearing equipment with basic variant items, limited BOQ details, and a 25% optional quantity uplift. The contract will adhere to GeM terms, including state MSE preferences, OEM manufacturing eligibility, and online validation requirements. This procurement emphasizes compliant headband design and noise attenuation features suitable for military use.
  • Key differentiators include the option to increase order quantity by up to 25% and the need for MSE-based eligibility to access state benefits. The absence of a detailed BOQ suggests a streamlined supply of standard ear muffs or a narrowly defined variant, subject to GeM bid rules and supplier validation.
  • Important context: the bid is channelled through GeM with specific state-level MSE reservation and online documentation validation, aimed at OEM manufacturers rather than traders, ensuring certified supply of the specified hearing protection equipment.

  • Performance parameters include APV Mf-Sf, Mean Attenuation, Test Frequency, and Standard Deviation to demonstrate acoustic performance. A Warranty clause is referenced but not quantified.
  • Other notable aspects: the tender references standard GeM compliance, potential OEM authorizations, and the need to meet basic safety and durability expectations for military gear.
  • Emphasized deliverables involve timely supply at or near the stated value, with adherence to any OEM specification and warranty terms that are later clarified during contracting.

Terms, Conditions & Eligibility

  • Quantity flexibility: Purchaser may increase/decrease quantity by up to 25% at contract placement and during currency at contracted rates; additional delivery time is calculated as ((Increased quantity ÷ Original quantity) × Original delivery period), with a minimum of 30 days.
  • MSE reservation (state): Only MSE manufacturers from the state (with valid Udyam registrations) may qualify for procurement benefits; traders are excluded. Online validation of credentials is required.
  • Purchase preference: State-level MSE preference applies if bidder is the OEM/manufacturer and online-validated; non-OEM resellers are not eligible for benefit. GeM profile validation and buyer evaluation are prerequisites.
