Tender Overview
Organization: Indian Army (Department Of Military Affairs) in Pathankot, Punjab. Procurement scope covers 18 items listed under vehicle and engine-related components, including set rod bearings, indicator lights, power steering kits, hoses, seals, and ignition switch assemblies. The project references an ISO 9001 certification requirement for bidders or OEMs and a formal advance sample approval process post-award. An option clause allows up to 25% quantity variation during contract execution. The BOQ shows 18 items but no unit quantities; contract terms emphasize supplier readiness for bulk manufacturing after sample approval.
Key differentiators: Mandatory ISO 9001 compliance, advance sample phase with a 5-day approval cycle, and the option to scale orders by up to 25% at contracted rates. The buyer reserves flexibility in delivery timing linked to sample approval and quantity adjustments, with evaluation anchored on OEM capability and standard compliance.
