Tender Overview
The Indian Air Force invites bids for the supply of pneumatic tyres suitable for passenger car vehicles, conforming to IS 15633 (Q2) and ISI marking. The procurement focuses on single-supply of goods with implied bulk volume, given the uniform tyre specifications listed: ISI certification, warranty terms, and conformity testing. Key differentiators include the mandatory ISI marking, the 1-year warranty, and the requirement to furnish all test reports to the buyer on demand. The scope emphasizes timely service commitments and after-sales support across Indian locations, with penalties for delayed rectification and potential escalation to alternate sources if unresolved. The buyer insists on clear supplier accountability and a robust post-delivery service network.
