How to Sell Seed Products Through GeM Portal

Navigating Commercial Sales & Bidding on GeM

Once registered on the Government e-Marketplace (GeM), seed companies can participate in multi-crore government procurement opportunities. Government buyers�including District Agriculture Offices, Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs), and National Seed Corporation (NSC) branches�procure seeds via three primary mechanisms on GeM:

1. Modes of Purchasing on GeM

Direct Purchase (Up to ?25,000): Buyers can purchase seeds directly from any registered supplier meeting statutory quality standards.
L1 Purchase (?25,000 to ?5,00,000): GeM automated algorithm selects the lowest eligible quote (L1) among minimum 3 distinct OEM products listed in the category.
E-Bidding & Reverse Auctions (Above ?5,00,000): Formal competitive tender bidding where sellers submit technical dossiers (Seed License, STL reports, GOT certificates) followed by price bids.

Optimizing Your GeM Seed Catalogue

Crop Kind & Variety Mapping: Ensure exact technical specifications (germination %, physical purity %, moisture %) match ICAR minimum seed standards.
GTIN Barcode Integration: Pair catalogue items with registered GS1 barcode identifiers.
Stock Availability Updates: Maintain real-time inventory counts to avoid order cancellation penalties under GeM Incident Management rules.
