Bid opening

26-08-2026 at 18:30:00.

Bid validity

120 days from the bid end date.

• No pre-bid meeting or clarification deadline is stated in the available tender documents.

EMD by schedule

EMD applies separately to each selected schedule: ₹2,521; ₹234; ₹261; ₹3,151; ₹1,634; ₹561; ₹229; ₹230; ₹699; ₹13,758; ₹9,735; and ₹252 for Schedules 1-12 respectively (₹33,265 if all schedules are selected).

• EMD must favour MATERIAL SUPERINTENDENT, Material Organization, Naval Base, Arga, Karwar 581308 (The President of India).
• The bid also prints a bid-security declaration 'in place of Bid Security'; obtain written clarification before relying on the declaration instead of the scheduled EMD.

EMD forms, validity and exemptions

Accepted bid-security forms are Insurance Surety Bond, Account Payee Demand Draft, Fixed Deposit Receipt, Banker's Cheque, bank guarantee/e-bank guarantee, or acceptable online payment; validity is 45 days beyond bid validity.

• Eligible exempt bidders must upload valid supporting evidence; for MSE exemption, only manufacturers of goods qualify and traders are excluded.

Performance security

Successful bidder must furnish 5% ePBG; the bid specifies 14 months, while GTC requires submission within 15 days of award and validity through two months beyond all obligations including warranty.

• Accepted performance-security forms are Insurance Surety Bond, Account Payee Demand Draft, FDR, bank guarantee/e-bank guarantee, or acceptable online payment.
• The 14-month bid field conflicts with the GTC duration rule; clarification is needed.

Payment terms

For accepted goods, 100% payment is released within 10 days of CRAC and online bill submission; payment becomes due only after receipt and verification of performance security.

• No tender document fee or explicit estimated tender value is stated in the available tender documents.
• Quoted TOV must include basic rates, GST, customs duty if applicable, inspection/testing charges and all other costs; commercial bid value cannot be increased after opening.

Experience

Bidder or OEM must have regularly manufactured and supplied same/similar category products to a Central/State Government organisation or PSU for 3 financial years before bid opening.

• For this bunch bid, the primary product category having the highest value must satisfy the criterion.
• MSEs and DPIIT-recognised startups receive complete experience relaxation if quality and technical specifications are met and supporting evidence is uploaded.

Past performance

Bidder or OEM must have supplied same/similar category products equal to 30% of bid quantity in at least one of the last three financial years to a Central/State Government organisation or PSU.

• Submit relevant contracts proving cumulative quantity in the qualifying financial year and the past-performance certificate.

Turnover

Minimum average annual turnover is ₹6 lakh for the bidder and ₹8 lakh for the OEM, measured over the last three years.

• Bidder turnover is GeM-verified; the ATC nevertheless also demands bidder turnover documents.
• MSE bidders receive bidder-turnover relaxation; an MSE OEM also receives OEM-turnover relaxation. DPIIT startups receive equivalent relaxations, subject to meeting specifications and uploading proof.

Local-supplier eligibility

Only Class-I and Class-II local suppliers may participate; minimum local content is 50% and 20% respectively.

• Upload an OEM certificate/declaration stating local-content percentage and locations of value addition.

Financial standing

Bidder must not be under liquidation, court receivership or similar proceedings and must not be bankrupt; upload an undertaking.

OEM authorisation

An authorised distributor/service provider must furnish OEM/original service-provider authorisation with contact details.

• ATC 8(a) separately calls the OEM authorisation certificate mandatory for all bidders; OEMs should obtain clarification on applicability.

Border-country registration

A bidder from a country sharing a land border with India is eligible only if registered with the Competent Authority; false declaration or non-compliance can trigger immediate termination and legal action.

Debarment / rejection triggers

False, misleading or forged bid information; bid withdrawal/modification during validity; failure to furnish performance security; inferior/counterfeit supplies; or unsatisfactory/non-execution can lead to rejection, forfeiture and suspension/debarment.

Goods and quantities

Supply 675 units across 12 item-wise schedules to CWH-Karwar/Uttara Kannada.

• 3 cargo nets; 32 SWR 18 mm thimbles; 37 SWR 20 mm thimbles; 50 32 mm rope thimbles; 402 12 mm rope thimbles.
• 3 mechanic tool sets; 3 quick-release bench vices; 5 two-speed drills; 12 angle grinders; 26 scuttles; 96 Nelson flushing valves; 6 electric heat guns.

Delivery

All schedules have a 90-day delivery period to the Uttara Kannada consignee/CWH-Karwar.

• Extension is exceptional and the supplier must communicate at least 30 days before expiry of the delivery period.

Technical standards and deliverables

Supply must match the attached item-specific specifications, drawings, materials, dimensions and performance parameters; bid technical compliance must disclose every deviation and cover deliverables, materials, subassemblies, tests, characteristics and 12-month warranty.

Inspection and warranty

Inspection is against the firm's guarantee/warranty certificate; standard warranty is one year from final acceptance or completion of installation/commissioning/testing at consignee location.

Online two-packet submission

Submit technical and commercial bids online on GeM before bid closure; evaluation and award are schedule/item-wise, followed by reverse auction among eligible technically qualified bidders.

Signing and portal authentication

Uploaded declarations that the ATC identifies as signed must be duly filled and signed; GeM e-sign is legally at par with a digital signature.

Physical original bid security

GTC requires the scanned bid security in the online bid and its hard copy directly to the Buyer within 5 working days of bid opening; the bid does not identify a separate physical-submission address beyond the beneficiary address.

Scheduled EMD versus declaration in lieu

Bid Detail fixes schedule-wise EMD, but ATC mandates a Bid Security Declaration and prints it 'in place of Bid Security'. The tender does not state which route prevails.

• Do not assume the declaration waives EMD; seek written Buyer clarification before submission.

Performance-security duration

Bid Detail says ePBG duration is 14 months, while GTC requires validity two months beyond completion of all contractual obligations including warranty. With 90-day delivery and one-year warranty, those requirements do not align on their face.

• Bid-specific 14 months is the portal field, but bidder should obtain confirmation of the required start/end dates to avoid rejection or later extension cost.

Bidder turnover upload

GeM eligibility clause says bidder turnover is system-validated and no separate evidence is required; ATC makes bidder average annual turnover documents mandatory and threatens disqualification for missing documents.

• Follow the stricter ATC and upload turnover evidence unless Buyer clarifies otherwise.

OEM authorisation and MSME certificate applicability

The generic authorisation clause requires OEM authorisation only from authorised distributors/service providers, but ATC lists it as mandatory for all bidders. ATC also mandates an MSME certificate for all bidders although participation is limited by MII class, not MSME status.

• OEM and non-MSME bidders should seek confirmation that self-manufacturer evidence/non-MSME status will not cause rejection.

Confirm EMD route

Please confirm whether non-exempt bidders must submit schedule-wise EMD instruments (including physical originals) or only the printed Bid Security Declaration 'in place of Bid Security'.

Confirm ePBG validity dates

Please state the exact ePBG commencement and expiry dates, because the 14-month portal duration appears shorter than two months beyond 90-day delivery plus one-year warranty.

Clarify mandatory certificate applicability

Please confirm acceptable substitutes for OEM bidders and non-MSME bidders where ATC mandates OEM authorisation and MSME certificates for 'all bidders'.

Provide controlled QA document

Please upload the applicable QAD-R03 revision into the bid and confirm whether 'QA.10 / 12' is a clause/page reference; the ATC relies on an external website document, creating pricing and acceptance risk.

Liquidated damages and termination

Delay attracts LD at 0.5% of delayed-quantity contract value per week or part, ordinarily capped at 5% of total contract value; inordinate delay can reach 10%, and delay beyond 25% of the completion period is inordinate.

• The ATC says delivery extension is exceptional and must be requested at least 30 days before the 90-day period expires.

Quantity option exposure

Buyer may decrease or increase award quantity by up to 50%, and may increase contracted quantity by up to another 50% during contract currency at contracted rates.

• Ensure capacity, supplier quotations and price validity can absorb the maximum option quantity.

All-inclusive fixed-price exposure

TOV must include basic price, GST, customs duty, inspection/testing and all other costs, and cannot be increased after commercial bids open.

• Extended delivery gives no general price increase; Buyer retains benefit of GST decreases.

Security and cash-flow risk

5% performance security is due within 15 days; payment is not due until it is verified, carries no interest, and may be forfeited for non-performance.

Acceptance and rejected-goods risk

Consignee may inspect and reject within 10 days of receipt; no payment is made for rejected goods, which must be removed within 10 days or face ground rent and disposal at seller's risk and cost.

Warranty/service infrastructure

One-year warranty requires rectification and an established India installation, commissioning, training, troubleshooting and maintenance group, with nearby service-centre details uploaded at bid stage.

Reverse-auction price pressure

Bid converts to reverse auction with H1-highest-priced-bid elimination; generally the highest technically qualified bidder cannot participate, subject to listed exceptions.

External QA reference risk

Acceptance references QAD-R03 hosted outside the tender and the unclear notation 'QA.10 / 12'; missing revision control can change testing, inspection cost and acceptance obligations.

Buyer organisation

Indian Navy, Department of Military Affairs, Ministry of Defence; office name is masked in the bid document.
