Tender Overview
The Indian Army, Department Of Military Affairs, invites bids for a consolidated supply package including items such as ENGINE INSPECTION LAMP, PASSENGER STRIP, FIRE ALARM, FUEL GAUGE, and AC GAS under a single procurement. The scope is limited to the supply of goods, with an estimated value and quantities to be confirmed during contract award. The tender emphasizes quantity flexibility (up to 25% increase/decrease) and contract delivery timelines anchored to the original delivery period, with minimum additional time of 30 days.
