Ooh, 'Unimaginable'? I'm going to guess that's not the right answer. Let's stick to the basics - 'Intangible' and 'Inseparable' seem like the way to go.

Permeable? I'm not sure how that's relevant to procurement. I think 'Variable' and 'Inseparable' are the best choices here.

Perishable? I didn't realize we were ordering catering services. I'm going with 'Intangible' and 'Inseparable'.

Yeah, 'Perishable' seems out of place. 'Intangible' and 'Inseparable' are definitely more relevant.
