What is GeM Vendor Assessment & Who Needs It?
Vendor Assessment is an independent evaluation conducted by accredited agencies to certify that an enterprise possesses legitimate manufacturing capabilities, technical machinery, and quality control procedures.
Manufacturers Seeking OEM Panel
Any manufacturer wanting to upload primary brand catalogs, list new products, and control distributor authorization must clear vendor assessment.
Exemption Category Claimants
Certain entities (NSIC registered units, BIS license holders, CPSUs) are eligible for assessment exemptions. We evaluate and process your official exemption petitions.
Quadrant 1 Privileges
