Indian Army Alwar Rajasthan Spice Tender for Red Chilli Powder Mustard Seed Turmeric 2026

Tender Overview

The Indian Army, Department Of Military Affairs, invites bids for a spice supply package in Alwar, Rajasthan (postal code 301001). Procurement covers a broad spice category: Red Chilli Powder, Mustard Seed, Turmeric, Tamarind, Black Pepper, Coriander, Garlic, Cloves, Cardamom, Cumin Seed (10 items). The scope is strictly supply of goods with no manufacturing or installation requirement. The tender’s value is not disclosed; no explicit EMD amount is stated. A critical contract term allows the Purchaser to adjust quantity up to 25% of bid quantity at contract placement and during the contract period, at contracted rates. Delivery timelines are calculated from the last date of the original delivery order, with a minimum additional delivery time of 30 days. This option clause must be complied with by bidders. A pre-dispatch inspection and sample handling provision exists, though the clause text references clothing items and is not aligned with spices; the sample handling concept may influence quality verification and risk sharing. Potential bidders should prepare for a supply-only bid with flexible quantity management and detailed delivery scheduling. The tender emphasizes clear price capture for all costs, given the scope of supply is limited to goods, with no installation or services. This opportunity requires robust logistics and precise quantity planning to leverage the 25% option clause while meeting delivery timelines.
