NALCO Evaporator Preheater Tender Koraput Odisha 2026 SA8000 & GST Compliance

Tender Overview

National Aluminium Company Limited (NALCO), Bhubaneswar, invites bids for the supply of EVAPORATOR PREHEATER units (1st to 4th preheaters) with scope limited to the supply of goods. The procurement is targeted at the Koraput, Odisha location (pin 763001) under the Materials department. EMD is ₹2,500,000; the bid involves GST handling as per bidder's applicable rate with reimbursement limited to actuals or quoted rate. Bidders must attach a Data Sheet and comply with Integrity Pact and SA8000 requirements. The contract emphasizes a zero-difference between offered data sheet and technical parameters to avoid bid rejection. Bidders should be prepared to comply with GeM-attributed terms, including IS/SA8000 alignment where stated, and to address TDS implications under Section 194Q for large turnover entities. This opportunity targets suppliers capable of meeting SA8000 social accountability standards and GST-compliant invoicing. The absence of BOQ items indicates a potentially broad scope for equipment supply rather than services.
