Every corrigendum/addendum in order — what changed (original vs amended value), its impact, and the action for the bidder — ending with the values that finally apply.
GeM/NDRF issued date-side corrigenda on 19–20 Aug 2026 after the bid PDF’s original end date of 05-08-2026 15:00, keeping the bid alive, but the attached PDFs do not restate the final bid-end/opening timestamps.
NDRF partially modified Micro UAV QRs/TDs: integrated day-night payload only; endurance/range/speed/wind/battery reduced; several advanced features omitted; remaining GeM bid T&Cs unchanged.
GEM/2026/B/7657141-C3 dated 20-08-2026 supersedes all existing Buyer Added Bid Specific Terms and Conditions and previous corrigendum ATC text, restating option clause, turnover, MA, inspection, 2-year warranty and 15-day warranty rectification penalties.
After all corrigenda: 17 Micro UAVs; Class I/II only; bidder TO 19 Lakh / OEM TO 190 Lakh; EMD 357000; ePBG 5% for 29 months; DP 90 days; validity 180 days from end date; specs as per Corrigendum Notice No-01 Read As table; 2-year on-site warranty; ATC certificates and physical EMD/PBG rules continue.
Genuine conflicts within and across the documents (original vs corrigenda, clause vs annexure, tender document vs BOQ): both sides with citations, and which value prevails.
Corrigendum Notice No-01 pages 1–2 amend key QRs, but the QR/TD table reproduced later in the same Cor1 PDF (and original specs/ATC) still prints old 40-minute/5 km/40 km/h and non-omitted clauses.
Bid details set Arbitration Clause to No, while NDRF ATC mandates arbitration at New Delhi under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996.
Bid PDF end date 05-08-2026 15:00 conflicts with existence of 19/20-08-2026 date corrigenda issued after that deadline; final end/opening times are not printed in the corrigendum files.
Parameter 4.3 originally required GCS battery minimum 2 hours at peak utilization; corrigendum replaces it with continuous flight time of 30 minutes language, overlapping endurance clause 2.6/6.7.
ATC requires on-site warranty at each consignee, while the service-centre clause is framed for carry-in warranty and says it is not applicable for on-site warranty—yet service-centre details near consignees must still be uploaded.
Only critical, tender-specific pre-bid queries that could materially change bid/no-bid, pricing, eligibility or contractual risk. Skip generic or obvious questions the documents already answer clearly.
Please confirm the currently operative Bid End Date/Time and Bid Opening Date/Time on GeM after the 19/20-08-2026 date corrigenda, because the bid PDF still shows 05-08-2026 and the corrigendum PDFs do not print the new clock.
Confirm that only the Read As values on Corrigendum Notice No-01 pages 1–2 govern technical evaluation/trials, and that unreworked 40 min/5 km/TI/simulator rows in the attached QR table are obsolete.
Clause 3.4 Thermal Imager is omitted and payload is 'Integrated day and night camera', but no revised night-sensor resolution/modes are stated—please specify mandatory night imaging performance for trial acceptance.
Does amended 4.3 still impose any minimum GCS/tablet battery endurance, or is the only endurance obligation the 30-minute flight requirement under 2.6/6.7?
After corrigendum 5.2 retains only 'S/C band (2 GHz to 6 GHz)', is any encryption standard still mandatory for data link security?
Bid details show Arbitration Clause No, while ATC provides full New Delhi arbitration under the 1996 Act—which dispute-resolution path applies to the contract?
Please confirm when free tender samples will be called, trial location(s), whether all 17-consignee configurations are tested once, and whether failure on any amended QR is immediately disqualifying.
Commercial, legal and execution risks a bidder should weigh: liquidated damages and penalties, unusual or one-sided clauses, tight timelines, and payment or security risks.
Late delivery attracts GeM LD at 0.5% of contract value of delayed quantity per week (or part), generally capped at 5%, or up to 10% for inordinate delay; ATC stresses life-saving urgency and no grace period assurance.
Failure to rectify within 15 days of notice attracts 0.5% of unit price per week, cumulative cap 10% of contract value, then buyer may get service from alternate sources at seller risk/cost and forfeit PBG.
DG NDRF quality decision is final; rejected stores must be removed within 15 days at tenderer risk/cost; buyer may lab-test sample/bulk/supply at seller’s cost; free tender sample is required on call.
5% ePBG for 29 months must be physically deposited within 15 days of award or contract is liable to cancellation; payments due only after PBG receipt/verification and CRAC.
Seventeen single-unit consignments across India within 90 days, plus 3-day free training at buyer-intimated locations, is an aggressive logistics/training programme.
False MII local-content declaration can lead to debarment up to two years under GFR references in the local-content certificate; land-border false declaration allows immediate termination; Bid Securing Declaration exposes exempt bidders to 2-year suspension for specified defaults.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
