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 downloaded tender pack contains no corrigendum or addendum file; original GeM bid dated 21-08-2026 and attached ATC/SoR/tech specs apply as issued.
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.
Bid preference table awards MSE matched quantity/amount of 25%, but Buyer Added cl.26 awards 50% of total value within the same L1+15% band.
Bid cl.23 undertakes CMC at not more than 8% of contract price per annum, while bid CMC fields set min 3% / max 25%, and Additional CMC cl.8.5 allows 3% up to 50% of equipment cost.
ATC payment terms and Bid cl.23 provide annual CMC payment, while GeM Additional CMC clauses repeatedly require quarterly payment after user certification.
Bid cl.23 requires AMC Performance Security of 5% of total CMC value valid CMC period + 2 months; Additional CMC cl.10 states CMC PBG between 2.5% and 10% as specified and validity CMC period + one year.
GeM Option Clause and Repeat Order allow up to 50% quantity variation/repeat, while ATC Tolerance Clause limits increase/decrease to 25% from BID issue to contract placement.
Bid states “Bid splitting not applied”, yet Additional CMC cl.11 contemplates splitting order quantity and L1 price matching by higher bidders.
Core bid MII clauses invoke DPIIT Public Procurement (Preference to Make in India) Order with Class-I/II gates, while Buyer Added cl.27 says the MII preference clause is modified and governed by MoP&NG PP-LC Policy FP-20013/2/2017-FP-PNG dated 17.11.2020.
SoR starts 2-year warranty from signing of acceptance certificate; Bid cl.30/ATC para 70 start from final acceptance or installation/commissioning/testing (whichever later).
Bid cl.23 inserts an unexplained standalone ‘20 Crores’ under the CMC undertaking paragraph, with no definition whether this is a CMC scope value, estimated cost, or form-field error.
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.
Which MSE matched-quantity/value percentage will be used at award — 25% (preference table) or 50% (Buyer Added cl.26)?
Is the Bid cl.23 ‘not more than 8% per annum’ a hard ceiling overriding the portal min/max CMC percentages, and what happens if GeM forces a higher entry?
Will CMC be paid annually (ATC/Bid cl.23) or quarterly (GeM Additional CMC clauses), and what is the exact offline CMC agreement template/start trigger?
What exact hardware/software constitutes the mandatory TEC sample, where/when must it be presented, who bears transport/security costs into 15 Corps Zone/Anantnag, and how long is the L1 sample retained?
Who supplies Akashteer gateway ICD/credentials, on-gun mechanical/electrical interfaces, and live integration windows? Is demonstration of live Akashteer CAT048/062 exchange mandatory before acceptance?
Must the GeM bidder itself hold the DIL, or may an Indian OEM-authorized integrator bid while OEM holds licences? How are foreign-origin AESA components treated under DIL and land-border/ToT rules?
Can buyer stack Option (+50%), Repeat (+50% within 6 months of completion) and pre-award Tolerance (±25%)? Confirm resulting maximum quantity and delivery-period formula application for high-altitude Anantnag sites.
Does DPIIT MII Order (Class-I/II) or MoP&NG PP-LC policy in cl.27 control eligibility, preference and per-invoice LC certificates?
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 0.5%/week (part thereof) up to 5% of delayed price (10% if inordinate delay >25% of DP); denial clause shifts tax/FX/PVC upside to seller during seller-caused extensions; risk & expense after 45-day cure.
EMD INR 3.84 Cr locks significant capital; 5% ePBG for 26 months plus separate CMC PBG; failure to accept CMC forfeits performance security.
50% supply in 120 days and balance in 240 days into Anantnag/15 Corps Zone with ops to 4500 m, harsh environment and TEC sample-to-lot identity, plus training within 15 days of ICT.
Warranty downtime ≤5% (replace all if >10%); CMC 98% uptime (max 8 days down/year; ≤5 days any one time), 48 h response, 5-day max repair; LD on excess downtime; buyer can terminate CMC on 3 months’ notice without compensation.
Integrity Pact sanctions include forfeiture of securities without assigning reasons and debarment; agency-commission breach triggers 5-year debarment and refund with interest 2% above LIBOR; fall clause can force price reduction; confidentiality/cyber breaches are material defaults.
DIL mandatory; extensive NABL/OEM certifications; TEC physical checks; no extra document time; non-upload is rejection; public visibility of uploaded docs to other bidders.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
