Tender Overview

The Indian Army, Department Of Military Affairs, seeks to procure Refined Sunflower Oil (V4) for defence purposes. The tender specifies packaging and marking requirements aligned to DFS 423-2025, with mandatory FSSAI/BIS compliance and warranty provisions. A notable feature is the option clause allowing quantity adjustments up to 50% during contract execution, with delivery timing recalculated accordingly. Bidders must prepare PAN, GSTIN, canceled cheque, and EFT mandate documents as part of bid submission. The BoQ shows zero items, indicating an adaptable quantity framework rather than a fixed bill of quantities. This procurement emphasizes compliance with packaging, marking, and hygiene standards, and is sensitive to extended delivery windows when option quantities are exercised.

The opportunity is positioned as a DEFENCE sector procurement with strict regulatory packaging and labeling expectations. Unique aspects include the governing specifications being acknowledged as read and understood, and the explicit requirement for packaging type conformity to DFS 423-2025, along with FSSAI/BIS mandates. The procurement context is delivery-centric, with contract risk-sharing via the option clause and a strong emphasis on product hygiene and traceability. Suppliers should prioritize regulatory certifications and supply chain readiness to align with military quality expectations.
