EDITORIAL FOREWORD
DPM 2009 is applicable to all Wings of MoD and the Defence Services, all organizations and units/establishments there under for procurement of goods and services for which expenditure is met from Revenue Heads of the Defence Services Estimates (DSE) or any other type of purchases to which the provisions are made specifically applicable.
The term procurement has been defined in DPM as a means of acquiring all types of goods (both scaled & non-scaled), such as equipment, stores, spares, technical literature etc, as well as all types of services including packing, unpacking, preservation, transportation, insurance, delivery, special services, leasing, technical assessment, consultancy, systems study, software development, maintenance, updates, conservancy, etc.
Since procurement of goods and services are carried out both from Capital & Revenue under existing DPP & DPM respectively, it is essential to understand the difference between the two.
• Capital Procurement. As per Rule 90 of General Financial Rules (GFR) 2005, significant expenditure incurred with the object of acquiring tangible assets of permanent nature or enhancing utility of existing assets are broadly defined as Capital Expenditure. Further, as per Rule 91 (a) of GFR 2005, Capital shall bear all charges for first construction & equipment of a project as well as charges for intermediate maintenance of the work while not yet opened for service. It shall also bear charges for such further additions & improvements, which enhance useful life of the asset. Capital Procurement, therefore, refers to procurement of all goods and services that fit the description of Capital Expenditure.
• Revenue Procurement. As per Rule 91 of GFR 2005, Revenue should bear all subsequent charges for maintenance and all working expenses, including all expenditure on working and upkeep of project and also on such renewals and replacements and such additions, improvements or extensions, etc., as under rules made by the Government are debitable to Revenue account. Revenue Procurement, therefore, implies procurement of items and equipment, including replacement equipment, assemblies/sub assemblies & components, to maintain and operate already sanctioned assets in the service, necessity of which has been established and accepted by the Government. In the context of defence procurements, what would constitute Revenue procurement is defined in Chapter 1 of DPM 2009.
Provisions of DPM 2009 are also applicable to the following:-
• Coast Guard Organization and Jammu & Kashmir Light Infantry (JAKLI) for procurement under Revenue heads for which budgetary allocation is made.
• Procurement of certain Capital items as notified by MoD.
• Procurement of medical equipment both under Revenue & Capital Heads.
• Purchases made by Defence Services from grants placed at their disposal by other Ministries/Departments like MHA, Ministry of Environment and Forests etc.
Provisions, however, are not applicable for DRDO and OFB as they have their own purchase manuals. It is however expected that their procedures are also in line with provisions of DPM 2009.
DPM 2009 contains 15 Chapters, 15 Appendices and 29 forms.
DPM procedures are being used for central procurement as well as local purchases under delegated financial powers of authorities in MoD, Service HQs & all subordinate authorities in Command HQs, lower formations, establishments and units there under.
Non Core Items
Starting May this year the Ministry of Defence (MoD), on the advice of the Army’s Master General Ordnance (MGO) branch, has created a new list separating what it calls the non-core items from the range of products that 41 Ordnance Factories under the Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) have been producing and procuring for years.
From now on, these 150 odd items–ranging from woolen jerseys to steel wire and from sleeping bags to socks–will be procured from private Indian entities, freeing the OFB to concentrate on manufacturing ammunition and armaments, supposedly its core areas of expertise but one which was diluted over the years.
The government is hoping that the delineation of core and non-core items will serve twin purposes. One it will allow the ordnance factories to focus on the more critical core items and two, it will give boost to the private industry for manufacture of the other products.
A complete list of items identified as non-core is reproduced beneath.
