Indian Navy FLANGE, PIPE Procurement Visakhapatnam 2026 - 2 Year Warranty, GST, Option Clause

Tender Overview

The opportunity is issued by the Indian Navy under the Department of Military Affairs for procurement related to FLANGE and PIPE categories. While exact quantity and value are not disclosed, the contract includes a 2-year warranty from delivery/installation and requires GST registration. A critical geographic detail is the requirement for a functional service presence in Visakhapatnam, with a branch/HO location explicit for bidding. The process allows an option clause to modify quantities by up to 25% during and after award, maintaining contracted rates. The buyer emphasises pre-bid staging and onsite/offsite service considerations, with a delivery timeline linked to the original delivery schedule and a minimum 30-day extension in case of increased quantity. The tender also specifies that the supplier must align with the stated scope of work and maintain a dedicated service channel. This procurement is distinctive due to the naval context and the emphasis on after-sales service infrastructure, alongside the possibility of contract rejection by the Commanding Officer at any time.
