This Order is **** (as it pertains to defense procurement and budgetary funding), as it establishes a mechanism for the implementation of an experimental project, under which the State Enterprise “Defense Procurement Agency” of the Ministry of Defense assumes the function of procuring goods for the needs of the National Guard, the State Border Guard Service, and the National Police. The document details the procedures for interaction between the ministries, the Agency, and the direct recipients of the goods. It defines the procedure for planning, verification of orders, supply and acceptance of products, as well as the financial support for these processes.
### Structure and Main Provisions
The Order consists of three separate interaction procedures, adapted to the specifics of each of the recipient agencies (NGU, SBGS, National Police).
* **Main Goal:** Centralization of the procurement of specific defense-related goods (unmanned systems, electronic warfare equipment, communications equipment, etc.) through a professional Agency.
* **Key Changes:** Implementation of the mandatory use of the “DOT-Chain” information and communication system (ICS) for all stages — from the formation of an order to the signing of acceptance certificates. This allows for the transition away from paper-based document flow and ensures the transparency of the process.
* **Comparison:** Previously, each agency carried out such procurement independently; now, these powers are delegated to the Agency within the framework of the experiment, which allows for the unification of product requirements and the optimization of expenses.
### Most Important Provisions for Practical Use
1. **Verification of Orders:** No order from a military unit or subdivision is processed by the Agency without prior verification (approval) by the main governing body of the respective agency (e.g., the Main Directorate of the NGU). This guarantees control over the targeted use of budgetary funds.
2. **Use of ICS:** All documents (certificates, waybills) are signed using a Qualified Electronic Signature (or an Advanced Electronic Signature for military personnel) directly in the “DOT-Chain” system. This serves as the legal basis for the entry of goods into accounting records and subsequent payment by the Agency to contract executors.
3. **Financial Mechanism:** The Agency operates within the limits of the agencies’ budget programs. Importantly, coverage of the Agency’s own maintenance costs (0.4% of the amount of executed contracts) is provided for, which is allocated through separate appropriations.
4. **Claim Processing:** The algorithm of actions in the event of discovering discrepancies in goods (quality, quantity, completeness) is clearly defined. Documentation occurs according to DSTU standards, and claim work is the responsibility of the Agency as the contracting authority.
5. **Time Constraints:** The Order establishes strict deadlines for the submission of orders and the execution of settlements (in particular, by December 8 of the current year), which requires recipients to strictly adhere to planning schedules.
