CORIANDER

Tender Overview

The opportunity is issued by the Indian Army under the Department of Military Affairs for procurement of a range of spice products including CORIANDER SEEDS, CORIANDER POWDER, RED CHILI WHOLE, RED CHILI POWDER, CUMIN SEEDS, CUMIN SEED POWDER, TURMERIC POWDER, BLACK PEPPER, CLOVES, CARDAMOM LARGE for delivery at DODA, JAMMU & KASHMIR - 182143. The BOQ lists 10 items but currently shows N/A for quantity and unit, indicating incomplete data in the tender text. A notable term is the optional quantity clause allowing up to 25% increase/decrease in ordered quantity at contracted rates, with delivery and extension calculations based on the original/extended quantities. The tender lacks explicit start/end dates and explicit estimated value or EMD details, necessitating careful bidder clarification. This tender requires strict adherence to the option clause and timely fulfillment of delivery from the last date of the original delivery order, with minimum extension rules. The procurement context centers on government spice supply for military logistics in a high-altitude region, highlighting cold-chain or shelf-stability considerations may apply in practice.

Key differentiator: explicit quantityFlexibility (up to 25%) and delivery-time calculus tied to original/extended delivery periods.
