3.6. Packaging and delivery Standard procedures for packing of the separate components should be followed to avoid damage due to contamination and transit dynamic loads (Eg. Bubble wrap). Delivery and installation of the setup should be carried out at ISAC.

3.7. Realisation and Schedule a. Realization is proposed in three phases. First phase will involve designing of

the overall setup with all the standard test equipment.In this phase assembly procedure and test plan draft will also be prepared. This phase shall ensure that vendor gets complete familiarization of carrying out end to end activities and understanding requirements. (Identified as MIP -1)

b. After successful completion of the first phase, second phase will involve fabrication of all the components and procurement of required equipment and parts as mentioned in section -2 but not limited to the given list. (Identified as MIP -2)

c. The third phase involves component level testing, assembly and demonstration tests. (Identified as MIP 3) A pre shipment review shall be conducted and clearance shall be given for delivery of the system.

d. Final phase involves delivery of the setup in disassembled mode to ISAC/ISITE and assembly of the setup. Demonstration of the overall functionality and handing over to ISAC shall be treated as completion of the activity.

e. Approximate schedule to carry-out entire project is 6 months after the release of PO by ISRO.

Note: Sub contracting of design/fabrication/ assembly should satisfy the following conditions

1) Sub-contractor should be an ISO certified or equivalent agency with experience in Aerospace related equipments.
