Tender Overview

The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) calls for the procurement of External Hard Disk Drives under a government procurement process. No specific BOQ items are listed, and the estimated value/quantity are not disclosed. The bid includes an option clause up to 25% quantity adjustment during contract execution, with delivery timelines linked to the original order and potential extensions. Bidders should note the requirement for OEM authorization and a minimum shelf life, plus compliance with cross-agency supply norms. This tender emphasizes ongoing supply to central/state government entities and requires bidders to prove stable financial and operational status.
