Indian Army Q Switch Assembly Tender in India 2025 - GEM Portal 25% Quantity Option & Sample Approval

Tender Overview

The Indian Army, Department Of Military Affairs, invites bids for a Q Switch Assy under a supply-only contract. The tender emphasizes a flexible quantity clause allowing a 25% up/down variation at contract award and during the currency, at contracted rates. A pre-bulk-supply advance sample is required within 5 days of award, with buyer feedback within 5 days and potential delivery time adjustments if approvals are delayed. The procurement focuses on hardware components rather than services, with the bid requiring conformity to the buyer's sample specifications and modifications, if any. The absence of a defined BOQ indicates a potential generic or equipment-level procurement, and bidders should align their proposals to the exact sample and delivery framework described in the terms.
