Indian Army Antivirus Software Tender Jammu & Kashmir 2026 - OEM Authorization, End User Certificate & Malicious Code Certification

Tender Overview

The Indian Army, Department Of Military Affairs, seeks antivirus software for deployment in Jammu, Jammu & Kashmir - 180001 with a focus on license scope and device support. The estimated contract value is ₹28,000. The procurement emphasizes OEM/authorized distributor involvement, data sheet alignment, and secure end-user certification. A key differentiator is the requirement for a Malicious Code Certificate and a robust data sheet match to product specs. Bidders must demonstrate prior government supply experience and provide end-user documentation aligned to buyer formats. The absence of a BOQ suggests a software license/activation model rather than hardware components, with emphasis on license type, device coverage, and install/commissioning support from the OEM or an authorized reseller.
