Bidder must certify compliance with restrictions on procurement from a country sharing a land border with India; valid registration evidence required if applicable.

What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Supply of Acid Sulphuric Concentrated Battery Grade to IS.266-1993 (III Revision), Amendment No.1 reaffirmed 2003, packed in 20 kg non-stackable HDPE containers to IS:6312-1994 (II Revision).
3760.00 Kg to SSE/S&T/WS/PER, SR, Tamil Nadu; delivery to SSE/S&T/Workshop/Perambur, Ayanavaram, Chennai-600 023.
Commence within 7 days of issue of Contract and complete within 23 days thereafter; F.O.R. Destination by Road.
The complete checklist of documents to submit — mandatory vs conditional, with any prescribed formats, proformas or annexures — plus how to submit: portal and mode, envelope/cover structure, digital signature requirements, signing and attestation rules, and physical originals with their deadline.
E-tender only on IREPS; Single Packet; manual offers ignored.
Offer is electronic on IREPS; tender is digitally signed by AMM/GSD/PER; bidders must have authorized signatory documentation.
Enter GST rate/structure, GSTIN, HSN, PAN, local content %, bank details, and GST jurisdictional assessing officer particulars in the bid.
Every corrigendum/addendum in order — what changed (original vs amended value), its impact, and the action for the bidder — ending with the values that finally apply.
The available tender pack contains only nit.pdf; no corrigendum/addendum document is present, and the NIT itself only instructs bidders to check the website for any corrigendum before offer submission.
Genuine conflicts within and across the documents (original vs corrigenda, clause vs annexure, tender document vs BOQ): both sides with citations, and which value prevails.
Commercial compliance prints HSN CODE:8607 for this sulphuric acid goods item; HSN 8607 is ordinarily a railway parts heading, so the stated code conflicts with the chemical nature of the supply and creates GST classification risk.
NIT Header sets Earnest Money at 0.00, yet bidder certificate S.No.8 still threatens EMD forfeiture for forged/false certificates during evaluation.
Only critical, tender-specific pre-bid queries that could materially change bid/no-bid, pricing, eligibility or contractual risk. Skip generic or obvious questions the documents already answer clearly.
Ask Railway to confirm whether HSN 8607 is intentional or a template error, and which HSN/GST rate will be used for evaluation and PO.
Seek clarity on acceptable 'same/similar' definition, minimum quantity/recency, and whether non-Railway industrial supplies count if Railway R/Notes are unavailable.
Request the applicable SD/performance security percentage, instrument forms and validity, since this NIT only mentions SD forfeiture and points to external IRS/SR tender conditions not attached here.
Confirm whether commencement 'within 7 days of issue of Contract' uses PO/LOA date, and whether split/partial delivery is acceptable against 3760 kg within the 23-day completion window.
Commercial, legal and execution risks a bidder should weigh: liquidated damages and penalties, unusual or one-sided clauses, tight timelines, and payment or security risks.
Supply must start within 7 days of contract and finish within 23 days thereafter for 3760 kg to Chennai, with destination delivery date counting.
Bidder alone is responsible for HSN/GST correctness; payment uses lower of PO vs billed GST and basic price must be adjusted to keep all-inclusive PO price.
Inspection is by consignee at destination; 100% payment only after receipt, inspection and acceptance; warranty is 30 months after delivery.
Railway may accept whole or any portion, need not accept lowest offer, and limited-tender intimation does not guarantee PO if eligibility/registration conditions are unmet.
Forged/false certificates can cause summary rejection, EMD/SD forfeiture language, contract termination and business ban up to two years.
IRS Conditions of Contract and Southern Railway Stores tender conditions (IREPS-linked PDF) govern the contract but are not attached here, so LD, SD, risk purchase and other standard liabilities are not fully visible from this pack alone.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
AMM/GSD/PER, Southern Railway (GSD/PER), acting for and on behalf of the President of India; digitally signed by AMM/GSD/PER (Gopal Rao Jaisankar).
