requirements can only be obtained from the original manufacturer, there
should be no hesitancy in issuing the Proprietary Article Certificate.
7.2.6.7 For DLW, RDSO, DMW, ICF/RCF, CME approved items, limited tender shall
be done on approved sources. After technical scrutiny by CME’s office, order
shall be placed by COS office as per rules in vogue.
7.3
Procedure for procurement of materials:
7.3.1
Items which have low AAC value should be procured, as far as possible, in form of
kits, to minimize the procurement effort.
7.3.2
Items which are occasionally required and generally non-recurring in nature shall
be indented by the sheds/shops on non-stock requisitions. All such materials on
receipt will be charged off to the consignee and kept in stores as “custody stores”
until fully consumed.
7.3.3
Preparation of Indents: When indents are prepared, the essential points to be
borne in mind are listed below:-
7.3.3.1 The description should be complete and written out clearly. Figures in the
description (e.g., hp & rating etc.) should be spelt out in words also. If the space
in the standard form is not sufficient to write out the description in full, it should
be given in a separate attached sheet, preferably typed.
7.3.3.2 When a local drawing or specification is mentioned, requisite number of copies
with latest amendments should be attached. However, procurement of each item
as per local drawing or specification should be critically reviewed by the
indenting Officer to find out as to why this item cannot be procured as per
standard drawing and specification issued by RDSO/PUs.
7.3.3.3 The quantity should invariably be mentioned in words and figures in the
respective columns.
7.3.3.4 When a non-standard item is asked for, particulars of the last supply, if any,
should be given to enable the Store Department to locate likely suppliers.
7.3.3.5 The designation and full postal address of the consignee and the controlling
officer should be given to facilitate correct dispatch of Railway Receipt and
other documents.
7.3.3.6 When the requisition is for a proprietary article, the ordering reference as given
by the Manufacturer should be quoted and carefully tallied and a Proprietary
Article Certificate in the prescribed form should be attached, duly signed and
countersigned by the Competent Authority.
7.3.3.7 The rate should be either on the basis of last purchase rate suitably adjusted for
price variations or on the basis of actual market quotations or a reasonable
estimate. It will be helpful if the basis on which the rate is quoted is mentioned
on the indent itself or in the covering letter.
