Indian Army Cheese Tender IS 2785 2025 - Natural, Processed, Spread and Soft Cheese Procurement

Tender Overview

The Indian Army, Department Of Military Affairs, invites bids for multiple cheese categories including Natural Cheese (Hard Variety), Processed Cheese, Processed Cheese Spread and Soft Cheese in IS 2785 (Q3). The scope references dairy products across tender categories with no BOQ items available. Bidder documentation includes PAN, GSTIN, Cancelled Cheque, and EFT Mandate. An option clause allows +/- 50% quantity adjustments at contract placement and during currency, with delivery timing linked to the original delivery period. Post-receipt inspection is specified at the consignee site; demurrage rules apply for unlifted rejected items.

Key differentiators include health-conscious, non-toxic product requirements and a clearly defined demurrage framework of 0.5% per day after 48 hours; destruction if not lifted within a month. The ATC confirms a vendor code creation process and standard brand-conformance across IS 2785 compliance. The tender emphasizes safety data handling for toxic materials if applicable and a single Post Receipt Inspection regime at destination.
