Tender Overview
The opportunity is with the Indian Army (Department Of Military Affairs) for procurement of multiple mechanical components including HOSE, SHIM 0.1MM THK, CARTRIDGE FUZE LINK 10 AMP, STEERING GEAR BOX, GEAR BOX. The bid requires an EMD of ₹23,979 and includes a design-drawings approval stage: bidders must submit Detailed Design Drawings within 5 days of award, with the buyer responding in up to 7 days. If drawings are delayed, delivery timelines are adjusted without liquidated damages. The scope appears to target defence-grade mechanical assemblies, with data sheet verification and non-disclosure submission mandatory. Location is unspecified; suppliers must meet government procurement norms and ensure product life and market availability. A crucial differentiator is the mandatory pre- fabrication approval workflow and cross-check against drawings before fabrication begins, ensuring compliance with buyer-issued modifications. This tender emphasizes cautious suppliers who can maintain supply per approved designs and meet regulatory obligations.
Key differentiators include the DDD (Detailed Design Drawings) approval process, validated by the buyer, and a strong emphasis on avoiding obsolescence with a 3-year government supply track record requirement. Unique aspects include hazardous-material handling guidance and NDA submission stipulations, signaling a rigorous compliance environment and secure disclosure posture.
