Indian Coast Guard Digital Hand-held VHF Transceiver Tender South Andaman 2025 MHA QR Compliant

Tender Overview

The Indian Coast Guard invites bids for a Digital Hand-held VHF Transceiver under the MHA QR framework for the location of South Andaman, Andaman & Nicobar 744101. Tender complexity stems from an undefined estimated value and absence of BOQ items. The procurement highlights include an option clause up to 25% quantity variation at contracted rates and a delivery-time model tied to the original delivery schedule. A mandatory emphasis on document upload is reflected in the bid terms, along with MSE purchase preference provisions. This opportunity targets suppliers capable of meeting QR-compliance norms and delivering within the extended time frames when the option clause is exercised. The absence of explicit start/end dates requires bidders to monitor the portal for updates and ensure readiness to comply with all ATC amendments or corrigenda.
