Tender Overview

The Indian Army, Department of Military Affairs, is seeking the supply of core cooler components including DESERT COOLER STEEL, MINI COOLER PLASTIC, COOLER MAIN MOTOR, COOLER WATER MOTOR, and COOLER NET. The scope is strictly supply of goods for the military setup, with a flexible quantity clause allowing up to 25% increase during contract execution. A sample requirement mandates 5 days to produce stores at the workshop location after bid publication, signaling rapid provisional readiness. This tender emphasizes unit-level component procurement for field cooling systems with minimal services involved.

Unique tender elements include a quantifiable quantity adjustment clause and a streamlined goods-only scope, contrasting with service or installation tenders. The lack of explicit technical specifications implies bidders must rely on standard product definitions and any future addenda.

The 25% option clause and the 5-day sample production window are key differentiators that impact planning, inventory, and lead-time assumptions.
