Tender Overview

The opportunity is issued by the Higher Education Department, Kerala for procurement of scientific instruments including spectrophotometers, microscopes (Pathological & Research per IS 4381, IS 5204), pH meters, and water baths in the Alappuzha district (PIN 686107). The tender scope covers multiple analytical devices with technical features spanning light source, monochromator, detector, optical performance, and water bath components. The estimated value and EMD are not disclosed in the documents, signaling a potentially broad bidding range. A key differentiator is the emphasis on standard conformance (UL/CE per EN 61010-1, EMC/EMI per EN 61326-1) and NABL/ILAC-compliant test reports.

This procurement targets government-affiliated laboratories or institutions requiring ISI/ISO-aligned equipment with on-site warranty and availability of spares. The inclusion of accessories like extra eyepieces and data logging options strengthens the technical depth. The tender’s focus on advanced optical performance and environmental specs suggests a high-precision installation in higher education research facilities, with convergence around safety/compliance standards.
