Indian Army Printing Services Tender Jammu & Kashmir 2025 - Paper-based Printing with Forms & Offset, UT of J&K

Tender Overview

The Indian Army, Department Of Military Affairs, invites bids for paper-based printing services including printing with material, forms, and offset work. The procurement is geographically restricted to the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir, specifically Srinagar and Budgam, with mandatory police/CID verification for service providers. The ATC requires the printing press to be location-based with an on-ground office within the consignee state, and to permit inspection of facilities. The scope emphasizes supply of printed forms and offset outputs, with vendor accountability for non-competition and anti-nation activity undertakings. A notable eligibility angle is the state-level MSE reservation, requiring Udyam registration and OEM manufacture status to access reserved procurement benefits. The contract quantity and duration adjustments may be exercised by the buyer up to 25% both pre- and post-award, demanding adaptable capacity planning. The tender aims to ensure secure, compliant printing operations under government procurement norms with strong verification and anti-tampering assurances.
