Latest Organisation Tenders

(Updated Daily)

The Office of DG (MSS) operates under DRDO and is involved in procurement of specialised defence equipment and support services. For example, the organisation recently floated a tender for “DEVELOPMENT & FABRICATION OF CORIOLIS VIBRATORY GYROSCOPE BASED INS HOUSING & ITS ASSORTED FIXTURE”.

Bidders for these tenders must comply with Indian procurement norms, including vendor registration, GST/PAN compliance, MSME registration (where applicable), submission of EMD/bid-security (if specified), and timely online submission via portals such as the central e-procurement system.

Given the sensitive nature of defence procurement, technical qualification, past experience and compliance with “Make in India” or local content norms may be emphasised.

Here are the typical procurement categories you should monitor:

1. Supply & Fabrication of Defence Equipment / Components: e.g., manufacturing of MS Gallows, transceiver modules, gyroscope housings.

2. Development & Prototype Services: product development contracts, R&D support services for defence systems.

3. Maintenance Services / Estate Works: e.g., facility maintenance contracts at DRDO-estates.

4. Works & Civil / Structural Support Services: allied construction, civil repairs, building services at organisations under DG (MSS).

By aligning your firm’s capability with one or more of these categories, you improve your relevance for upcoming tenders.

Here is a vendor-friendly step-by-step process:

1. Vendor registration: Ensure your firm is registered on relevant e-procurement portals (such as the central eProcurement System or defence eProcurement portal) and has valid GST, PAN, bank details, MSME registration if applicable.

2. Monitor tender listings: Search the portal by “Office of DG (MSS)”, “MSS DRDO” or by organisation chain under DRDO to find active tenders. eProcurement listings show active tenders for this office.

3. Download tender documents: Access the NIT, BOQ/Scope of Work, technical specifications, eligibility criteria (e.g., prior experience, local content), bid security/EMD, submission format.

4. Prepare your bid:

4.1. Technical bid: include company profile, relevant past experience in defence/industrial contracts, documented capabilities, compliance to specification.

4.2. Financial bid: price schedule, taxes, timelines/deliverables, deviations (if any) clearly stated.

5. Submit online before the deadline: Upload all required documents via the portal in the prescribed format. Submissions after the closing date are typically rejected.

6. Bid opening & evaluation: Technical bids are evaluated first. Only bidders passing that stage proceed to financial bid opening. Award is then announced.

7. Contract award & execution: Once selected, sign the contract/LOI, mobilise resources, deliver within the timeline and invoice per payment terms.
