Tender Overview
The opportunity is issued by the Indian Army under the Department Of Military Affairs for multiple automotive components including Brake Caliper Assembly RH and LH, a 6 PK Belt 1780, Lamp 60W and 55W, and Gasket elbow to bypass pipe. The BOQ lists 5 items, with no explicit quantity or value disclosed. Key buyer behavior signals include a preference for local suppliers due to urgency and an Advance Sample requirement before opening the Technical Bid. A demonstration of nominated items will be conducted at a location referred to as wuzur, suggesting a controlled evaluation environment. The clause implies potential COVID-style or wartime procurement urgency, emphasizing rapid deployment readiness and streamlined eligibility. The absence of specified quantities indicates bidders should prepare scalable, component-level bids aligned to vehicle/aircraft-interface standards. The unique differentiator is the Buyerโs option to adjust quantities up to 25% during contract and currency, with a minimum delivery-time constraint of at least 30 days and extension mechanics defined by the option clause.
