The procurement is issued by the Indian Army under the Department Of Military Affairs for Offset Printing Ink (Q3) in Dehradun, Uttarakhand 248001. The tender covers general ink specifications including type of offset ink, color, compatibility with printing machines, and suitability for dampening systems, with an emphasis on ink tack and shelf life. The absence of a BOQ implies a broad, performance-based supply of ink meeting listed standards. A notable differentiator is the contractual option to adjust quantities by up to 25% during both initial and currency periods, at contracted rates, with delivery timelines tied to the original order’s completion and extended periods. This creates flexibility for bulk or staggered allocations while preserving price discipline.
