Indian Army Air Filter Element and Automotive Spare Parts Tender Pithoragarh Uttarakhand 2025 with 25% Quantity Option

Tender Overview

The Indian Army, Department Of Military Affairs, invites bids from suppliers for a broad range of automotive spare parts and air/fuel/filters, including items such as AIR FILTER ELEMENT, ASSY FUEL FILTER, CARTRIDGE FUEL FILTER, CLUTCH components, BELT, DISC PAD, and UNIVERSAL JOINT assemblies, to be supplied in PITHORAGARH, Uttarakhand. The BOQ lists 19 items across multiple categories, with no start/end dates and no specified estimated value or EMD in the provided data. A key differentiator is the Buyer’s option clause permitting up to a 25% quantity increase at contracted rates during the contract period. The clause also governs delivery timelines based on the last delivery order date, with a minimum 30-day extension rule. This tender requires careful interpretation of the option clause for scope expansion and delivery scheduling. The absence of explicit item specifications signals the need for bidders to seek clarifications on exact part numbers and compatibility.
