Indian Army Smart Maps Tender 2026 Procurement ISO 9001 BIS Type Test Sample Approval

Tender Overview

The Indian Army (Department Of Military Affairs) seeks procurement in the Smart Maps category. The tender notes a flexible quantity clause allowing up to 25% increase/decrease in bid quantity at contract award and during execution, with delivery timelines linked to the original delivery period. The procurement emphasizes pre-supply validation through a required sample approval and a suite of mandatory certificates. The absence of a stated start/end date, location, or estimated value underscores the need for bidders to verify bid documentation and contact the procuring authority for clarification.
