Indian Army Passenger Glazing & Plywood Tender 2026 - ISO 9001, Material Test Certificate, 25% Option Clause

Tender Overview

The Indian Army, Department Of Military Affairs, seeks procurement of multiple vehicle glazing components and plywood under a single tender framework. The scope includes Passenger Door Glass, Front Wind Shield LH and RH, Rear Wind Shield CTR, Sliding Glass, and Plywood, reflecting an integrated glazing and interior panel requirement. The document emphasizes ISO 9001 certification for bidders or OEMs, Material Test Certificates with supply, and a flexible quantity clause allowing up to 25% increases at contract rates. A three-year turnover verification is required for both bidders and OEMs, with formal audited balances or CA certificates as supporting evidence. The absence of explicit quantities is mitigated by the option clause and the emphasis on post-order delivery adherence. Location details are not disclosed in the data, highlighting the need for bidders to confirm site and delivery addresses with the purchaser. The combination of glazing components and plywood suggests cross-category handling of both glass and interior fit-out materials, likely to support military vehicle or depot refurbishments. The tender’s unique differentiator lies in its dual compliance requirements (ISO 9001 and Material Test Certificate) and the contingency quantity extension mechanism. The inclusion of an OEM turnover criterion also signals a preference for established manufacturers capable of scale. Candidates should prepare to demonstrate lab-tested materials and robust quality processes.
