Indian Army Pneumatic Tyres and Flaps Procurement IS 15636 IS 9168 2025

Tender Overview

The procurement is issued by the Indian Army under the Department Of Military Affairs for Pneumatic Tyres for Commercial Vehicles (Diagonal and Radial Ply marked to IS 15636, Q2) and Flaps for Pneumatic Tyres and Tubes conforming to IS 9168 (Q3). Although the exact quantity and estimated value are not disclosed, the Buyer reserves a 25% quantity variation clause and extended delivery timelines. Bidders must demonstrate 3 years of regular supply to central/state government bodies, provide OEM authorization if bidding through partners, and ensure GST compliance. The terms emphasize end-of-life assurance and ongoing post-award documentation (test reports on demand). The tender targets organizations capable of meeting IS 15636 and IS 9168 standards with robust QA and risk controls. This tender is location-agnostic in the data, but is issued by a defense authority, signaling stringent compliance and security expectations.

Key differentiators include the explicit option to increase/decrease quantity by up to 25% and the requirement to furnish all test reports on demand, plus a mandatory NDA. The absence of a public BOQ suggests a specification-driven evaluation focused on conformity and supplier capability rather than price alone.
