Forest Department Chhattisgarh Vermicompost Tender IS 16702 2018 Conforming to 2023 - KANKER 2026

Tender Overview

The procurement is issued by the Forest Department, Government of Chhattisgarh, for vermicompost with compliance to IS 16702:2018 (Reaffirmed 2023) and Fertiliser Control Order norms. The project location is KANKER, CHHATTISGARH ( postal 494230 ). Estimated contract value is ₹1,751,750 with an EMD of ₹17,500. The requirement emphasizes certified vermicompost meeting quality standards, packing norms, and proper registration. This tender prioritizes IS 16702 conformity, regulator registrations, and traceability via Form O registration and authorisation letters. The scope involves bulk supply to meet departmental horticulture and afforestation needs, with supplier flexibility on packing size and form as long as compliance is maintained.

Key differentiators include mandatory regulatory certificates, source form documentation, and an emphasis on validity of registration and authorisation. The absence of a BOQ suggests a commodity-type procurement with quantity adjustments possible under the option clause, subject to a 25% variance during contract execution. The buyer reserves rights on delivery timelines and quantity variations while maintaining contracted rates and minimum lead times for extension.

This tender offers an opportunity for suppliers with verified fertilizer registrations, ISI/IS 16702 compliant vermicompost, and established cold-chain or bulk distribution capacity in central India.
