Tender Overview
Indian Space Research Organization (Department of Space) invites bids for brass rod conforming to IS 319 (Q3) with ISI marking and IS 2826 dimensional requirements. The scope emphasizes commodity-grade brass rods including copper and zinc composition, controlled impurities, specified tensile strength and elongation, nominal thickness and outside diameter per IS 2826, packaging, and lab-tested conformity reports. The tender prioritizes exact material composition, quality certifications, and traceable Test Reports from NABL/ILAC-accredited labs. Competitive advantage arises from suppliers offering ready BIS/type certificates and a robust quality-control framework, plus established service centers to support post-award inspection and potential warranty needs. These specifications target ISRO’s precise material standard compliance and supplier reliability for critical aerospace components.
