Tender Overview
The opportunity is issued by the Jail Department under the Home Department Chhattisgarh, seeking procurement of spices and condiments specifically Turmeric Whole and Ground conforming to IS 3576 (Q3) and Coriander, Whole and Ground conforming to IS 2443 (Q3). The BOQ shows no listed items, and the estimated value/EMD are not disclosed in the available data. A notable feature is the supplier option clause allowing up to a 25% quantity flex at contracted rates, with delivery time adjustments calculated as (Additional quantity / Original quantity) × Original delivery period, minimum 30 days. The tender emphasis is on standard-compliant spice products delivered to the Chhattisgarh government procurement channel. Bidders should align with the ATC terms already uploaded by the buyer.
Key differentiators include: (1) IS 3576 and IS 2443 compliance for specific spice variants, (2) optional quantity adjustments during the contract, (3) delivery timelines tied to original delivery periods with sensitivity to extended periods, and (4) the absence of BOQ items requiring bidders to anticipate primary spice grades and packaging aligned with state procurement norms.
