Tender Overview

The procurement is led by the Indian Army under the Department of Military Affairs for a Jam and Marmalade (V4) – Defence category in BIKANER, RAJASTHAN (334001). The bid requires an **EMD of ₹20,500, and packaging must comply with DFS 366-2025 standards with a specified net content of glass jar.
