Indian Army Office Stationery Tender 2026: IS 1375 & IS 12510 Compliant Pens, Pencils, Clocks, Scales, and More in India

Tender Overview

The Indian Army, Department of Military Affairs, seeks a comprehensive supply of office stationery and related items including writing pens, black lead pencils conforming to IS 1375, erasers, manual pencil sharpeners, markers, correction fluids, staplers, staple pins, metric steel scales conforming to IS 1481, electronic calculators, glue sticks, paper weights, self-adhesive flags, sticky notes, and file tags. The scope covers a broad catalog of Q4/Q3 grade products destined for military procurement cadences with IS conformity emphasis and packaging standards. The tender emphasizes sourcing from vendors capable of meeting diverse category requirements under a single contract, with standardization across multiple product types and brands where applicable. The absence of BOQ items suggests a consolidated stationery supply framework rather than itemized line items. Critical compliance anchors include IS standards for pencils, erasers, scales, and IS 12510 clocks, along with quality and packaging expectations. The process requires submissions aligned with GST, PAN, and vendor onboarding prerequisites, and mandates ISO 9001 certification per ATC.
