Indian Army Gym Equipment Tender Rajouri J&K 2026 - ISI/AAA/TRTL 25% Options, EMD ₹60,000, 2,000,000 Bid Value

Tender Overview

The Indian Army, Department of Military Affairs, invites bids for a broad range of gym and fitness equipment destined for a facility in Rajauri, Jammu & Kashmir (185131). Estimated contract value: ₹2,000,000 with an EMD of ₹60,000. Scope spans dozens of commercial gym machines and weights, including treadmills, ellipticals, rowing machines, various strength stations, benches, dumbbells, and weight plates, to outfit a full training complex. The tender emphasizes quantity fluctuation up to 25% both pre- and mid-contract, requiring bidders to plan for flexible delivery. OEM support and after-sales service in India are mandatory for imported items, plus adherence to inspection regimes. Unique aspects include a performance-based extension framework and a structured security deposit mechanism via an FDR.

Location-specific factors, along with a detailed BOQ lacking explicit item-level data, require suppliers to align with the Army’s standard procurement practices and ensure rapid, reliable delivery, installation, and ongoing maintenance. The tender’s differentiator is the combination of heavy gear with a formal option clause and an Indian after-sales service requirement for imported products. This is a high-credibility public sector opportunity demanding stringent compliance and robust logistics planning.
