Border Roads Organisation Calibration Services NABL Labs Tender 2026 - Mechanical, Mass & Volume, Pressure Standards

Tender Overview

The tender issued by Border Roads Organisation invites bids for Calibration Services across multiple metrology domains including Mechanical; Mass and Volume; Pressure and Vacuum; Force; Density and Viscosity, with procurement under NABL laboratory standards. The estimated contract value is ₹160,000. Notably, there are no BOQ items published, and coordination may involve a 25% variation in contract quantity or duration at bid/issuance stages as per the Buyer Added Terms. An ATC document has been uploaded, and the work is aligned with NABL lab requirements. This procurement targets qualified calibration service providers capable of delivering traceable, standards-compliant calibration results in a government-defence context, with potential scope expansion in line with the ATC terms. Key differentiators include NABL alignment, multi-discipline calibration scope, and a formal variation mechanism to adjust scope by up to a quarter. The tender emphasizes formal compliance and documentation through the attached ATC, indicating a structured, standards-driven engagement rather than a simple service contract.
