DIGITAL SIGNATURE CERTIFICATE

Tender Overview

Organization: Food Corporation Of India (FCI) under the Department Of Food And Public Distribution, with procurement located in SANGRUR, PUNJAB 147204. Product Category: digital signature certificate (Q2). No BOQ items are listed, and the BOQ total items field shows zero. The tender lacks explicit start/end dates or estimated value, but the Buyer’s terms include a quantitative option clause allowing up to 25% quantity variation during contract execution. This indicates a flexible supply window for DSC issuance and renewal services, potentially affecting pricing and delivery planning. The absence of technical specs suggests bidders should prepare generic DSC bid materials aligned with Q2 category expectations and IS/ISO conformity if specified later. The unique clause requiring compliance with quantity adjustment and extended delivery timing offers bidders a clear risk-reward tradeoff for fluctuating demand within contract quantities.
