POF is procuring lab chemicals and plant machinery via two-envelope competitive bidding.
Scale appears medium to large given the tiered bid security structure (up to Rs. 1.00 million for unregistered firms). Notable: strict 30-minute pre-opening submission window; two-part technical/commercial split for machinery; mandatory 90-day quote validity; environmental hazard disclosure required in quotations. Suppliers must bear inspection costs. This is likely recurring given POF's operational nature, but notice treats as single procurement cycle.
Who can bid: Typically requires NTN registration and Excise/Taxation clearance certificate. Registered indexed/unindexed firms and unregistered suppliers all eligible under tiered bid security terms. Government entities may request waiver. PEC category not stated (lab chemicals procurement). Suppliers must demonstrate tax compliance; hazardous material handlers may face additional environmental vetting.
