The Indian Navy is planning to procure 06 X 200 Ton Self Propelled (SP) Sewage Barges from registered Indian Shipyards.
And, thereby with a view to identify probable shipyards who can undertake the construction of 06 x 200 Ton SP Sewage Barges, have issued a Request for Information (RFI) for the same.
The interested Shipyards are requested to forward information as sought in this RFI. The procurement is intended to be under ‘Buy (Indian-IDDM)’ category.
The Shipyards are also required to comment on the categorisation and IC content as per DAP 20. The category wise (less Strategic Partnership model cases) summary of IC as per cost of the Base Contract Price (i.e. Total Contract Price less taxes and duties) will be as under: –
Category – Buy (Indian-IDDM)
Indigenous Content (IC) – Indigenous design and ≥ 50%
Basically, the aim of seeking this RFI is also to finalise the specifications for the Barge with inputs from the Shipyards.
