Indian Air Force Tenders

1. The IAF uses the DEFPROC system under the Ministry of Defence for most of its eProcurement needs. Some tenders may also be published via GeM when department / category fits GeM’s framework.

2. Categories include maintenance & repair, facility / infrastructure works, supply of equipment / spares, services contracts, utilities, etc.

3. Tenders often require technical specifications, regulatory / safety standards, financial capacity, valid registrations (GST, PAN, etc.), and sometimes site or zone-specific compliance. Always check tender documents carefully for submission format, deadline, eligibility.

You may also find related opportunities from:

1. Ministry of Defence eProcurement sectors (other wings, e.g. Army, MES)

2. Ordnance Factories & Defence Public Sector Undertakings (DPSUs)

3. Air Force wings & stations (local civil works, infrastructure)

4. Central supply / services contracts via GeM

Who can participate:

1. Registered suppliers, contractors, service providers (national / regional)

4. Proof of past performance or similar work experience (for repair / maintenance / civil works)
