Tender Overview

Food Corporation Of India invites bids for High Security Cable Seals for Freight Containers in line with IS 17381:2021 (Q3) and ISI Marked requirements. The procurement emphasizes security seals compatible with freight container integrity, with a potential quantity fluctuation up to 25% of bid quantity and contract quantity during execution. A clear emphasis on certification and test reporting is evident, including the requirement for a Central Govt/NABL/ILAC accredited lab test report to prove conformity to specifications, with the test report furnished on demand. The absence of a BOQ suggests a standardized seal pack or multiple seal types may be evaluated. The tender is issued under the GEM portal and requires strict adherence to the supplier terms and ATC conditions.
