The tender specifies a single-line scope: Only supply of Goods with an estimated value not disclosed and an EMD of ₹21,000. Ten items are listed in the BOQ though individual quantities are not provided, signaling a bulk-spice procurement for ITBP’s centralized needs. The procurement context emphasizes standardization and batch-wise supply continuity, with a flexible quantity clause and a procurement mechanism that allows up to 25% variation in ordered quantity. This is a government-style intake focusing on routine spice supply rather than customized equipment, with ATC terms governing delivery and performance. A unique characteristic is the option-based delivery extension aligned to the original contract period, ensuring supply even with demand fluctuations. The tender’s location is not specified in the data, but ITBP’s involvement indicates a government authority procurement for spice consignments. The competition is framed around bulk spice supply, compliance with generic goods delivery, and adherence to option clauses that govern quantity and delivery timelines. Bidder readiness hinges on timely supply, standard packaging, and adherence to the pricing at contracted rates during extension periods.
