Forensic Science Laboratory Manipur AAS Tender 2025 Manipur – Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) Q3 7.0 Million

Tender Overview

The Forensic Science Laboratory under the Home Department Manipur invites bids for an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) categorized as Q3, with an estimated value of ₹7,000,000. This procurement sits under the GeM rate contract framework, demanding compliance with a stringent service and delivery regime. The winning supplier must provide adequate on-site technical support during the warranty period and deploy dedicated engineers for timely servicing as per the SLA. The bidder should account for taxes/duties within the quoted basic rate and prepare to scale delivery under the option clause. The contract contemplates a flexible quantity envelope (up to 25% variation) and a defined demurrage framework for rejected items. Delivery terms align with the extended delivery window if the option is exercised, with minimum practical extension rules. Unique to this tender is the explicit need for a dedicated service team and the clawback of penalties for delayed or non-lifted goods. The project target is to equip the Forensic Science Laboratory with a compliant AAS solution that meets government procurement standards and maintains operational readiness.
