Indian Army Dissolved Acetylene Gas Tender IS 308 PESO 2026 Conforming to ISI - Department Of Military Affairs

Tender Overview

The Indian Army under the Department Of Military Affairs seeks a supplier for Dissolved Acetylene (Gas) conforming to IS 308 (Q2) with PESO guidelines compliance. The contract covers supply of gas with test reports and certificates on demand, ensuring IS conformity. The initiative utilizes a flexible quantity clause up to 25% variation and enforces delivery timelines linked to original orders, with potential extension. Payment terms specify 100% payment from PCDA Jaipur post-supply, and inspection can be conducted by buyer-appointed or independent bodies. A key differentiator is the emphasis on third-party testing and post-dispatch inspection support to verify contractual conformity. The tender prioritizes safety, compliance, and traceability through certified testing, reinforcing domestic procurement standards in a defense context. The absence of a BOQ indicates a generic gas supply scope, placing emphasis on standard compliance, PESO guidelines, and ISI/IS conformity documentation.
