Indian Army Copier Paper & Printing Supplies Tender 2026 Maharashtra Government Procurement Standards

Tender Overview

The opportunity is a procurement by the Indian Army (Department Of Military Affairs) for a broad range of office supplies and printed materials, including Copier Paper A4 75 GSM, Copier Paper Legal 75 GSM, various Printed Service Digest Registers (200, 300, 400, 500 pages), Box/files with Lever Arch, Envelope Cloth Line Covers in multiple sizes, Drawing Sheets, and specific toner cartridges (e.g., HP & Samsung Original Toner). The scope includes both consumables and related printing services across multiple catalog items. The tender notes a flexible quantity clause allowing up to 25% deviation in ordered/contracted quantities. A functional Service Centre in the State of each Consignee’s Location is required for carry-in warranty, or onboarding within 30 days of award. Notably, there is a mandatory Malicious Code Certificate to ensure hardware/software integrity. The procurement emphasizes compliance with documentary proof for turnover, and requires bidders to upload financials and certificates. The absence of explicit itemized BOQ values suggests a broad, multi-item supply contract rather than a single-quote tender. This is a structured opportunity for suppliers of office stationery and related hardware to participate under government procurement norms, with strict verification and service obligations.
