Comprehensive Maintenance Charges are mandatory; GeM sets CMC minimum 3% and maximum 25%, for 5 years post 2-year warranty.
Every pass/fail eligibility and qualification requirement: experience and past performance, turnover/net worth, registrations and certifications, consortium/JV rules, and debarment or blacklisting conditions.
Minimum average annual bidder turnover is 4200 Lakh (3 years); OEM average turnover last 3 years is 35000 Lakh; turnover eligibility is GeM-verified for the bidder.

Net worth of the OEM must be positive as per the last audited financial statement.
Standard GeM MII clause restricts participation to Class-I and Class-II local suppliers (min 50% / 20% local content); Non-Local suppliers are ineligible, with a concurrent MSE carve-out.
MSE purchase preference is enabled: if L1 is not MSE and an MSE quotes within L1+15%, it may match L1 for 25% of quantity (manufacturer/OEM MSE only; traders excluded).
Defence Industrial License (DIL) is mandatory to participate; seller must be OEM/OEM authorised subsidiary/vendor (or government-sponsored export agency where applicable).
Bidders must not be insolvent/bankrupt, blacklisted/debarred by MoD/DoE/GoI agencies, or otherwise ineligible under ATC Part I; Rule 144(xi) land-border restrictions apply.

The complete checklist of documents to submit — mandatory vs conditional, with any prescribed formats, proformas or annexures — plus how to submit: portal and mode, envelope/cover structure, digital signature requirements, signing and attestation rules, and physical originals with their deadline.
Two-packet online bid on GeM under bidder digital signature; no manual tender box.
Online DSC signing; Integrity Pact in the name/on behalf of the company CEO; TEC sample of upgradation items required for physical check.
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.
The AI found nothing to report for this question.
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.
GeM buyer terms allow ±50% quantity variation at order placement and +50% during currency, while ATC Tolerance Clause limits variation to 25%.
Core bid MII text bars Non-Local suppliers, but buyer-added PPLC clause says the MII preference clause is modified and treats LC ≤20% as Non-Local under MoP&NG PPLC policy.
ATC/SoR require a physical sample at TEC, while GeM disclaimer flags seeking/approving samples during bid evaluation as potentially nullifying unless permitted by the buyer's controlling Ministry policy.
Integrity Pact format is called Annexure I in clause 44 and Annexure III in clause 75; the printed form itself is only labelled 'Annexure (Refer to Para 44)'.
ATC requires physical EMD within 5 days of Bid End Date; GeM disclaimer refers to EMD/Integrity Pact physical submission within 5 days of bid opening.
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.
Ask buyer to confirm whether award-time/mid-contract quantity change is ±50% (GeM option) or ±25% (ATC tolerance), and how Repeat Order 50% interacts.
Seek written confirmation whether only Class-I/II local suppliers may bid, or whether the buyer-added PPLC clause opens/alters Non-Local treatment and evaluation.
Request a definitive sample configuration list (radar head, C2, power, mounts, software, etc.), evaluation location, duration of retention, and return conditions for unsuccessful bidders.
Ask whether C-UAS radars, other air-defence radars, EO/radar gun upgrades, or broader military radar supplies qualify against the GeMARPTS/item category.
Confirm which DIL category/product code is acceptable for C-UAS radar upgradation of L/70 guns and whether an authorised reseller can rely on OEM DIL.
Seek ICD/interface responsibility split, data rights, site access to existing gun systems, and whether unsuccessful integration after delivery is seller-risk under 100% post-acceptance payment.
Confirm whether the 3%–25% CMC band is of equipment basic cost or total contract value, year-wise quoting method on GeM, and consequences if quoted CMC is outside band or refused after award.
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.
LD is 0.5% of delayed stores/services price per week or part thereof, capped at 5% normally and 10% for inordinate delay (>25% of total delivery period).
No advance; 100% payment only after delivery, integration, commissioning, training and acceptance—full working-capital and integration risk sits with the seller through up to 240-day delivery.
EMD of INR 3.84 crore and 5% PBG (then 5% CMC PBG) create large locked capital; multiple clauses allow forfeiture without assigning reasons under Integrity Pact sanctions.
Warranty downtime must stay within 5%; cumulative downtime >10% can force free replacement of complete equipment; CMC requires 98% serviceability, 48-hour response and 5-day repair TAT with LD on excess downtime.
50% quantity in 120 days and balance by 240 days, plus TEC sample, ATP, installation and Akashteer/L/70 integration in Budgam/15 Corps high-altitude conditions, is an aggressive programme risk.
Fall clause, anti-agent/undue-influence debarment (min 5 years), Integrity Pact sanctions, and broad confidentiality/cyber restrictions create elevated legal exposure.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
