Make in India (MII) purchase preference applies per the GeM general policy.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Treating this as an EMD-required bid - it is not, so no Demand Draft or BG is needed.
Missing the OEM Authorization Certificate, which is one of the mandatory seller documents.
Submitting non-Q2 sutures - the buyer has fixed Q2 quality grade on the GeM portal.
Ignoring the 10 percent past-performance threshold, which can disqualify new entrants without supply history.
Submitting after the 10.00 AM cut-off on 24 February 2026 - the GeM portal blocks late submissions.
