Advanced Weapons and Equipment India Limited Steel Rod Tender 360mm(+5) IS 5517-1993 Department of Defence Production 2025

Tender Overview

Advanced Weapons and Equipment India Limited invites bids for a steel rod procurement: diameter 360(+5) mm in multiple lengths of 250(+/-5) mm, conforming to IS 5517-1993 (latest). Estimated scope corresponds to a bulk steel rod order under the Department of Defence Production framework. The tender includes an option clause allowing up to 25% quantity fluctuation, with corresponding delivery adjustments. The contract contemplates delivery under extended periods if options are exercised, with a minimum additional time of 30 days. This is a high-specification steel requirement for defense manufacturing, with emphasis on dimensional tolerances and standard compliance. No BOQ items are listed, signaling a single-item, specification-driven bid and a potential static quantity until order placement. Key differentiator is strict IS 5517-1993 alignment and the option-based delivery extension mechanism, which influences supplier planning and cash flow. This tender targets manufacturers with cryogenic or heavy-duty steel rod manufacturing capability and robust QA processes aligned to government procurement practices.
