Indian Army Department Of Military Affairs ND-Category Tender 2026 Security Equipment Supply - 25% Quantity Variation Clause

Tender Overview

The opportunity is issued by the Indian Army under the Department Of Military Affairs for a procurement categorized under multiple ND codes. The BOQ comprises 8 total items with no explicit item specifications listed in the data provided. The tender includes an option clause allowing ±25% quantity adjustments at contracted rates, enabling extended delivery timelines based on the calculated formula. This framework supports flexible volume sourcing within a capped envelope and requires bidders to align with the Army’s delivery sequencing from the last date of the original delivery order. The bid terms emphasize adherence to delivery timeframes and contractual rate retention for any added quantity during the currency of the contract. The procurement is positioned within a government framework and may involve supplier screening for compliance and reliability. The absence of explicit product specs suggests the need for bidders to review the ATC document for technical prerequisites and any OEM requirements.
