Gliders India Limited Quick Release Connector Tender Kanpur Defence Production 25% Quantity Variation 2026

Tender Overview

Gliders India Limited, under the Department Of Defence Production, seeks a supply of Quick Release Connectors (PP Jaguar). The tender notes potential quantity variation up to 25% of bid quantity, with delivery timing adjustments linked to the extended period. Inspection will be performed by The Chief General Manager, OPF Kanpur post-receipt, ensuring acceptance standards. GST handling is buyer-determined, subject to applicable rates. The policy provides MSME purchase preference details, potentially enabling 25% quota through L-1 matching, depending on policy alignment. No BOQ items are listed, indicating a focused, single-item requirement or an early-stage data gap.
