Progress
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (Department of Defence Production) invites bids for the supply of a steel bar with precise metallurgical specifications: M 152 TO C50TF68, with a diameter of Ø170 mm ± 4 mm and grain size ASTM 5 or finer (preferable ASTM). The scope is limited to the supply of goods; the BOQ lists no items, indicating a possible single-line or bulk purchase. The tender contemplates a flexible quantity scenario, with a 25% increase/decrease at contract award and during the currency of the contract, at contracted rates. This procurement targets qualified metal suppliers with capability to deliver large-diameter bars to defense standards, under HAL’s quality regime.
Key differentiators include the explicit option clause governing quantity adjustments and the emphasis on strict grain-size specification, which may impact supplier heat-treatment and inspection processes. The tender presents a streamlined supply contract focused on material grade and dimensional tolerances suitable for defense applications. The absence of BOQ items suggests the emphasis on the bidder’s ability to meet the metallurgical and delivery requirements rather than a multi-line specification.

Key insights about KARNATAKA tender market
To bid for HAL steel bar supply, ensure you meet the dimensional spec Ø170 mm ± 4 mm and grain size ASTM 5 or finer. Prepare PAN, GSTIN, Cancelled cheque, and EFT Mandate. The contract allows ±25% quantity variation and requires goods-only delivery with HAL compliance.
Submit PAN card copy, GSTIN copy, Cancelled cheque, and EFT Mandate certified by your bank for vendor code creation. Ensure your company can supply large-diameter bars meeting M 152 TO C50TF68 designation and ASTM grain-size requirements.
Delivery terms state the option to adjust quantity by ±25% at contract and during currency. Delivery extension is calculated as (Increased quantity ÷ Original quantity) × Original delivery period, with a minimum extension of 30 days.
Suppliers must deliver steel bars with grain size ASTM 5 or finer, with ASTM preferred. This specification affects heat treatment and quality control processes to meet defense-grade metallurgical standards.
No BOQ items are listed in the available data; bidders should prepare for a bulk-supply contract focused on meeting the M 152 TO C50TF68 specification and diameter tolerances rather than multiple line items.
Eligibility emphasizes capability to produce/supply Ø170 mm bars to ±4 mm and ASTM 5+ grain size, along with standard vendor-code prerequisites: PAN, GSTIN, and EFT Mandate. Prior defense-grade material experience is advantageous for compliance.
The tender requires compliance with the specified metallurgical standard (ASTM grain-size criteria). While IS/ISO certifications are not explicitly stated, bidders should maintain quality systems and be prepared for HAL’s internal verification of material grade and dimensional tolerances.
Delivery starts from the last date of the original delivery order. If an option quantity is exercised, the extension follows the formula with a minimum 30 days, ensuring realistic scheduling for large-diameter bar production.
