Bechtel issues valves through project-specific MRs from its Global Procurement function. Indian suppliers engage through Bechtel India Ltd (New Delhi/Gurugram) or via Bechtel's Houston and San Francisco procurement hubs for LNG/refinery projects. GAVD registration requires ISO 9001, API product licences, a completed Bechtel supplier questionnaire, and typically a virtual or physical factory audit; Indian suppliers achieving GAVD status are eligible for inclusion on global project bid lists regardless of project geography.
