Government Procurement Project Declaration Materials and File Review: Document Parsing and Chunking

Government Procurement Project Declaration Materials and File Review: Document Parsing and Chunking

What the data for this category looks like

Data for this category comes from China’s national government procurement website, local government procurement websites, the fiscal integration system, the purchaser’s budget system, and supplier credit records. Updates occur daily. Common documents include procurement requirements, procurement plans, bidding documents, tender documents, bid evaluation reports, winning bid announcements, procurement contracts, and question responses. Most documents use fixed format frameworks, with standardized fields such as procurement numbers, supplier names, and evaluation scores. Some documents include embedded tables and image resources.

Multi-source documents updated daily have large format differences. Native documents and scanned documents coexist. Some documents contain complex embedded tables and images. Fixed-format official announcements and flexibly formatted supplier tender files are mixed together. General parsing rules cannot adapt to all scenarios. Key fields such as procurement numbers and evaluation scores must be fully extracted. Missing or misaligned parsing will directly disrupt the review process. Batch parsing of multi-source data requires stability. A single failed file parse must not block overall task progress.

How to set the configuration

Reference only; verify against the target FastGPT release and deployment documentation.

Config ItemRecommended ValueRationale
chunkSize800–1200 charactersGovernment procurement documents often include long paragraphs and tables. This range balances context completeness and retrieval accuracy
chunkSplitterSplit by paragraph + heading hierarchyGovernment procurement documents have clear chapter headings and paragraph logic. This splitting method preserves semantic integrity
customPdfParseEnabledSome tender documents and bid evaluation reports contain complex embedded tables and images. Enabling custom parsing fully extracts text and visual elements, and supports replacing third-party document parsing tools
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS300–600 secondsLarge tender documents or multi-page bid evaluation reports require long parse times. This range prevents timeout interruptions
UPLOAD_FILE_MAX_SIZE100 MBComplete files for government procurement projects may include multiple attachments. This upper limit covers most batch upload scenarios
chunkSettingModeManual configurationChunking rules need adjustment for different document types. Manual configuration adapts to scenarios such as procurement requirements and tender documents

Three common mistakes

  • Symptom: After uploading a PDF-format tender document, the parsed result lacks embedded images or has abnormally displayed images. Cause: The customPdfParse configuration is not enabled. The default parsing engine does not fully extract image resources embedded in the PDF.
  • Symptom: Uploading a large bid evaluation report triggers a parsing timeout error and returns a timeout status code. Cause: The value of PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS is too low, and does not match the full parse time required for long documents.
  • Symptom: Search results only return text chunks, and do not include metadata such as procurement numbers and supplier names for the corresponding document. Cause: Metadata binding logic is not configured, and document basic identification fields are not associated during chunking.

How to confirm the configuration is correct

  • Upload a tender document PDF that includes embedded tables and images. Verify that the parsed result fully extracts table content and image elements.
  • Upload a single 80 MB bid evaluation report. Confirm that the parsing process does not trigger a timeout error.
  • Search for keywords in the test document. Check that returned chunk results include metadata such as the procurement number of the corresponding document.
  • Batch upload 5 government procurement documents of different types. Confirm that all files are successfully parsed without errors.
