HIT seeks 59 different lab and allied chemicals on FOR basis with 2-month post-contract delivery.
This is a specialized procurement for a defence facility requiring NTN, Sales Tax registration, 3-year audit trail, and government contract experience. The tight submission window (less than 24 days from notice date) and requirement for Rs 2,000 postal order with technical bid suggest a medium-scale, one-off supply contract. Distributor-agents must evidence OEM trade links.
Who can bid: Bidders must hold valid NTN and Sales Tax Registration. Manufacturers, authorized dealers, and distributors are eligible. Three years of audit reports and prior government/semi-government contracts are required. Firms must not be blacklisted, suspended, or debarred. For distributors, documented trade links with OEM are mandatory.
