What Is GeM and Why It Matters
The Government e-Marketplace (GeM) is India's official online procurement platform for government buyers. Launched in 2016, GeM allows government departments, municipal bodies, PSUs, and autonomous institutions to purchase goods and services from verified sellers.
For fogging equipment procurement, GeM offers three key advantages over conventional tendering:
- No separate tender required: For amounts within GeM direct purchase limits, buyers can order directly from verified sellers.
- MSME preference: MSME-registered sellers like 100X Circle receive procurement preference — buyers can reserve orders for MSME OEM suppliers.
- Transparency: All prices, seller ratings, and certification details are visible on the platform.
Eligible Government Buyers
The following government entities can procure via GeM:
- Municipal Corporations, Nagar Nigams, Nagar Palika Parishads, Nagar Panchayats
- District health departments and state vector control programmes
- State agricultural departments and Krishi Vigyan Kendras
- Forest and environment departments
- Central government ministries and departments
- Public sector undertakings (PSUs)
- Autonomous bodies and universities funded by government

MSME Procurement Preference
Under the Public Procurement Policy for MSMEs (Government of India), 25% of annual procurement by central government entities must be from MSME sellers. For products in MSME-reserved categories, only MSME sellers are eligible to participate.
100X Circle is MSME/UDYAM registered. Government buyers procuring from 100X Circle on GeM count toward their mandatory MSME procurement targets.
