In early April this year. We contracted the supply of dual-use goods, i.e. goods, services and technologies for both military purposes that are of strategic importance to national security and the maintenance of international peace, as well as for civilian purposes. The contract was concluded with a German commercial law entity, with delivery to the end user in Ukraine. In addition, we have applied for the company to be assigned the code NCAGE (NATO Commercial and Government Entity Code | NATO Commercial Entity Code).
The value of the above contract is approx. PLN 1,003,000 (one million three thousand zlotys) (value given in approximate conversion from foreign currencies to Polish zlotys). The amount was paid in full and credited to the company’s account. Due to the confidentiality of the contract and the security of all parties, it was decided not to disclose the exact subject of the contract and the detailed destination. All legally required information will be provided to relevant institutions and authorities.
At the same time, we would like to inform you that, in carrying out the order, we are taking advantage of the amendment to the law referred to in the Act of March 11, 2022 on amending the Act on Foreign Trade in Goods, Technologies and Services of Strategic Importance for State Security, as well as for the Maintenance of International Peace and Security, and the Act on the Military Property Agency (Journal of Laws of March 16, 2022, item 613). The company is cooperating with Defense 365 Sp. in supply contracting. z o.o. under a framework cooperation and confidentiality agreement (see ESPI Current Report 53/2020 of dd. November 18, 2020). Defense 365 Sp. z o.o. holds a special trading license issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration allowing:
- Turnover of the types of weapons and ammunition specified in paragraph (2). 1 – 28 of Appendix No. 1 Types of weapons and ammunition – BA – to the Decree of the Council of Ministers of December 3, 2001. on types of weapons and ammunition and the list of products and technologies for military or police use, for the manufacture or marketing of which a license is required (Journal of Laws No. 145, item 1625, as amended);
- Manufacture and marketing of products with military or police use and marketing of technology with such use specified.
In the event that the aforementioned Law is no longer in effect, all future contracts will be handled by Defense 365 Sp. z o.o. However, regardless of the above, we applied to the Military Center for Standardization, Quality and Codification for the NCAGE code. The code will allow direct entry into tenders conducted by defense-related institutions in Poland and NATO countries globally, as well as the US Army and the federal and state governments in the US. In addition, upon successful application, MBF Group SA will be listed in dedicated registries:
