Tender Overview
The procurement targets Advanced Weapons And Equipment India Limited for a specialized alloy steel rod set: diameter 65(+/-2) mm and length 965(+/-5) mm, manufactured to JIS GRADE SCM4 and delivered in annealed condition. Located in Kanpur Nagar, Uttar Pradesh (208001), this tender falls under defense production supply with no BOQ items published. The acquisition emphasizes material specification and delivery discipline, with standard tender clauses driving quantity flexibility and firm pricing. The project scope relies on OFC unloading by the supplier and a strict price-variance framework, within a single- or two-bid process and a 120/180 day bid validity window. A unique qualifier is limited eligibility tied to Ordnance Factory Kanpur communications, shaping bidder pool. The award favors firms prepared to accept potential 25% quantity increments and extended delivery timelines aligned to contract performance.
Key differentiators include the JIS SCM4 annealed specification and tolerances that constrain supplier manufacturing controls, plus the option-based quantity adjustments during the DP period. Bidders should prepare for a tightly scoped material-supply contract with strategic delivery scheduling and fixed-price commitment unless price variation is explicitly allowed with documented raw material rates.
