What is GeM vendor assessment?

Vendor assessment (VA) is GeM's quality and compliance check on sellers — catalogue accuracy, delivery performance, documentation, and incident history.

A failed or pending assessment can block new bids, catalogue updates, or direct orders until issues are resolved.

Common reasons sellers get stuck

Expired DSC or GST, catalogue rejection for wrong HSN/brand authorisation, low on-time delivery score, open show-cause notices, or mismatched bank/PAN details.

Many MSMEs discover VA problems only when a bid submission button is greyed out — weeks after the underlying issue started.

How to clear vendor assessment faster

Fix documents in your GeM seller profile first (Udyam, GST, DSC). Re-upload rejected catalogue items with correct OEM letters and spec sheets.

Respond to any open SCN within the deadline — silence triggers automatic suspension under GeM's 2025 incident policy.

Frequently asked questions

How do I check my GeM vendor assessment status?

Log in to the GeM seller dashboard and open your profile/compliance section. If bidding or catalogue upload is blocked, VA or an open incident is usually the cause. Fix expired documents first.
