Tender Overview
The procurement scope involves gas cylinders in the categories of Helium, Hydrogen, Zero Air, Nitrogen, and Argon for the Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairy Development And Fisheries, Maharashtra, with delivery to the Krishi Nagar Basmat Road facility in Parbhani. The tender emphasizes OEM legitimacy or authorized service provision, BIS/type-test certificates, and compliance with safety labeling for hazardous materials. A variable quantity clause allows up to 25% bid quantity adjustment and a similar extension during the contract period, with delivery timelines anchored to the original delivery schedule. The ATC terms mandate vendor qualifications including financial and compliance assurances, GST awareness, and hazard precautions. This opportunity requires bidders to align with standard hazardous-material handling, MSDS labeling, and weight/shelf-life traceability.
Key differentiators include the option clause on quantity and delivery extension, explicit installation/commissioning responsibilities if applicable, and the requirement to upload OEM authorization letters alongside BIS/type-test certifications. The procurement supports a single or multiple suppliers capable of distributing specialized gas cylinders to a public-sector agricultural research facility, under local regulatory adherence and safety norms.
