Tender Overview
The Directorate Of Purchase And Stores under the Department Of Atomic Energy invites bids for the supply of six lanthanide nitrate compounds. Items include Cerous Nitrate Hexahydrate (500 g, extrapure AR, 99.9%), Samarium III Nitrate Hexahydrate (25 g, ultrapure, 99.95%), Neodymium III Nitrate Hexahydrate (100 g, extrapure AR, 99.9%), Praseodymium III Nitrate Hexahydrate (100 g, extrapure AR, 99.9%), Europium III Nitrate Hexahydrate (25 g, extrapure AR, 99.9%), and Gadolinium III Nitrate Hexahydrate (25 g, ultrapure AR, 99.99%). Scope is strictly the supply of goods with all costs included. The project location is not specified, and no start/end dates or estimated value are provided. GST handling is bidder’s responsibility with potential rate-based reimbursement. A 1-year warranty from final acceptance is mandated, with OEM warranty certificates to be submitted at delivery. The bidder must have a robust after-sales network in India and upload service center details near consignee destinations.
Key differentiators include adherence to extrapure/ ultrapure AR specifications, and strict documentation requirements including land-border sharing certificates per Rule 144 xi of GFR. Unique ATC clauses emphasize complete compliance with all bid documents and Annexure XII formats.
This procurement focuses on chemical reagents critical for atomic energy applications, requiring high-purity grades and precise lot-level specification compliance.
