Item warranty is explicitly 30 months after delivery while compliance also invokes IRS guarantee/warranty — seek written confirmation of the enforceable warranty period and start point.
Completion within 30 days of contract with LD from half-percent per week is tight for a non-stock locomotive VCB air dryer; confirm whether time extension is available and if stock/OEM lead times are considered.

LD for late supply is 1/2% of store price per week or part week, capped at 10% of contract value.
Contract starts within 1 day of issue and full supply must finish within 30 days free at destination — high execution risk for non-stock locomotive parts.

30-month warranty after delivery plus IRS warranty framework and Railway Board warranty-rejection handling exposes supplier to extended defect liability.

Missing manufacturing mark or use of single-use plastic packing can cause consignee rejection.
Contract is governed by latest IRS Conditions and WR Tender terms VERSION 2021/1 on IREPS, but Section 7 attaches no document — bidders bear risk of unseen standard clauses (SD, options, GD etc.).
