Indian Army Push Rod, Holder Bush, Nozzle, Safety Unit Supply Tender Kargil 2025 – IS 550 compliant test & inspection

Tender Overview

The opportunity is with the Indian Army (Department Of Military Affairs) for the supply of goods including items such as push rods, holder bush nozzles, retrant pipes, self starters, safety units, and coil assemblies. The procurement is located in KARGIL, JAMMU & KASHMIR - 194102 and involves a multi-item BOM with the intent to procure through a single contract on a “only supply of goods” basis. Key differentiators include a robust pre-dispatch inspection, post-receipt inspection at the consignee site, and an advance sample approval process that must be completed within 5 days of contract award. The option clause allows quantity adjustments up to 25% during and after contract award, with delivery time recalculated on the basis of original vs increased quantities. The tender emphasizes strict conformity to the buyer’s approvals and sample-based manufacturing before bulk supply, ensuring alignment with contract specifications. Unique aspects include the two-stage inspection regime and the risk-adjusted delivery timeline when sample approvals are delayed. This is a high-scrutiny, government-grade supply opportunity requiring rigorous adherence to buyer-defined processes.
