All important dates as they stand after corrigenda: publication, pre-bid/clarification deadline, bid submission deadline, bid opening, and bid validity period.
Bid document and NIT are dated / released on 30-06-2026 (30 June 2026).
No pre-bid meeting date or pre-bid clarification deadline is stated in the tender documents.
Bid End Date/Time is 21-07-2026 13:00:00 on GeM; NIT defers last date of submission to the GeM bid specification.
Bid Opening Date/Time is 21-07-2026 13:30:00; technical bids open electronically on GeM after bid close.
Bid Offer Validity is 90 days from the bid end date; quoted rates must remain valid for 90 days.
GeM Contract Period is 5 Month(s) 3 Day(s); NIT Time of Completion is 5 Months (see contradictions for conflicting 15-day goods clauses).
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
No usable numeric estimated tender value is disclosed; GAR shows Estimated Value Of Procurement as ₹ xxxxxx.x (masked).
GeM EMD Amount is 30000 with Advisory Bank State Bank of India; NIT separately states EMD as 5% of the estimated cost — conflict reported under contradictions.
No tender document fee is prescribed; GeM disclaimer treats asking for any Tender fee / Bid Participation fee as invalid.
GeM ePBG is 5.00% for 7 months (Advisory Bank SBI); NIT requires 5% of total amount quoted as Performance security within 7 days of award.
Payment Terms ATC states terms are as in the uploaded tender document; NIT allows payment only after final bill on physical completion, with no part/supplementary/enhanced/revised payment.
Every pass/fail eligibility and qualification requirement: experience and past performance, turnover/net worth, registrations and certifications, consortium/JV rules, and debarment or blacklisting conditions.
Minimum average annual turnover of the bidder for 3 years is 2 Lakh(s); Startup relaxation for years of experience and turnover is No.
3 Year(s) past experience required for same/similar service; MSE gets complete relaxation from Years of Experience (not Startup).
Agencies must have valid IT-PAN and GST registration; GeM documents required include Experience Criteria, Bidder Turnover and OEM Authorization Certificate; MII Compliance is Yes.
Bidder must not be blacklisted and must not have labour-court litigation; only one tender may be submitted for the entire scope.
MSE Purchase Preference is Yes with L1+15% margin; if L-1 is not MSE and MSE service provider is within L-1+15% and accepts L1 price, 100% order quantity is awarded to such MSE.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Custom Bid for Services: Development of one mobile application (app) for phenotyping under RKVY project at ICAR-DCR, Puttur — AI-enabled fruit counting, measurement and yield estimation for cashew.
App must capture images/videos, detect/segment fruits, extract morphology, count/measure, analyse colour/shape/ripeness, and provide dashboards for yield analytics.
Android 10+ mandatory (iOS optional); Kotlin/Java front-end; Node.js/Python Flask backend; TensorFlow/PyTorch; PostgreSQL/Firebase; NIC Cloud/ICAR Data Centre preferred hosting with offline capture/sync.
Seven-phase deliverables from design prototype through AI models, Android beta, dashboard, field validation, final release/training, and one-year maintenance; work at ICAR-DCR, Puttur within about 5 months.
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.
Soft-copy online bids only on GeM Portal (www.gem.gov.in); online PDF format; digital signature required.
Technical bid and supporting papers need proper seal and signature of authorized person with name, designation, email id and contact no.; blacklisting affidavit must be notarized on Rs.10 stamp paper.
Electronic two-packet process: eligibility shortlisting under Annexure II, technical evaluation against Annexure V/IV specifications, then commercial comparison of shortlisted bids; L1 on grand total wins.
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 document set contains no corrigendum or addendum; original GeM bid dated 30-06-2026 and NIT dated 30-06-2026 remain unamended.
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.
GeM EMD Detail fixes EMD Amount at 30000, while NIT repeatedly states Earnest Money Deposit as 5% of the estimated cost / an earnest money of 5%.
GeM Contract Period is 5 Month(s) 3 Day(s) and NIT Time of Completion is 5 Months, but other NIT clauses require supply within 15 days of supply order and installation/commissioning within 10 days of delivery.
NIT General Terms impose penalty at 0.25% per month subject to maximum 2.5% of total cost of works, while the Liquidated Damage Clause imposes 0.5% per week of delayed goods/services subject to maximum 10% of contract price of delayed portion.
Commercial terms set defect liability period at six months after completion, while Annexure V warranty requires post-deployment free maintenance for one year with issues resolved within 10 working days.
NIT contains multiple instrument/goods clauses (spares for 10 years, circuit diagrams, customs seals, similar machinery installations, actual measurements at site) that do not match the mobile-app SOW.
One clause forbids any part payment and allows payment only after final bill on physical completion; another says payment will be released after successful installation and training on production of service report and final bill.
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 buyer to confirm operative EMD value and instrument, because GeM shows ₹30,000 while NIT requires 5% of an undisclosed estimated cost.
Seek formal confirmation that multi-phase app development is governed by the GeM Contract Period of 5 Month(s) 3 Day(s)/NIT 5 Months, and that 15-day goods-delivery clauses are inapplicable.
Ask whether spares-for-10-years, circuit diagrams, similar machinery experience and OEM Authorization Certificate are waived or substituted for software deliverables.
Annexure V requires ≥5,000 field/open-source images/videos and NIC Cloud/ICAR Data Centre hosting, but does not say whether buyer supplies labelled field data or pays hosting/security-audit/DR costs.
Confirm whether any design/prototype/beta milestones can be billed, or whether the no-part-payment clause applies to the full lump-sum app development contract.
Technical bid lists Demonstrated working prototype without format, demo environment, or whether a prior similar app video/demo is acceptable versus a cashew-specific prototype.
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.
NIT forbids part/supplementary/enhanced/revised payments and releases payment only after final bill on physical completion — high working-capital risk for a multi-month AI app project.
5-month contract period coexists with 15-day supply clauses; delay may attract either 0.25%/month (max 2.5%) or 0.5%/week LD (max 10%).
Target accuracies of ≥90% detection/measurement/classification and field validation with on-site data collection create acceptance risk if field conditions or datasets are insufficient.
All IP including source code, models, datasets and documentation remains ICAR property; vendor cannot reuse modules without formal approval; data must stay on authorized servers only.
Mandatory Karnataka office evidence, 3-year similar experience (unless MSE-relaxed), turnover proof, notarized non-blacklisting affidavit, and single-tender rule are hard pass/fail items.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
