Rosoboronzakaz was transferred from the jurisdiction of Defense Government Decree of 21 May on the structure of government.
"Rosoboronpostavki will not be given, it remains the responsibility of the Ministry of Defence. This is, in fact, an analog of our department of municipal contracts, which conducts all auctions, "- said Serdyukov. According to him, more than 80% of the orders that go through Rosoboronpostavki, are directly related to Defense. "It would be surprising if in Defense Functions of state took the defense products. Take all the army of the world, there is none anywhere else," said the Minister.

Russian President gave an order 08 September 2014 abolishing the Federal Agency for Supplies of Arms, Military and Special Equipment and Goods and the Federal Service for Defence Contracts in the aim of improving state management and oversight of defence procurement and hand over their functions to the Defense Ministry, Finance Ministry and Audit Chamber. The move was proposed at a meeting between President Putin and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.
“In the eight years of these bodies’ existence, they have conducted certain activities and fulfilled certain tasks. But today, the fact that one agency falls under the competence of the government – this is Rosoboronzakaz, while the Rosoboronpostavka historically remains in the Defense Ministry’s structure –led to the suggestion of abolishing both agencies in order to concentrate the whole work of military supplies in the Defense Ministry,” the PM said.
According to Medvedev, the control functions of the two bodies can successfully be performed by the Ministry for Industry and Trade, the Federal Anti-Monopoly Service and the Audit Chamber. “This will not lead to any problems but will allow for optimizing the government’s structure,” he noted.
The Interior Ministry, Emergency Situations Ministry, Foreign Intelligence Service, Federal Security Service, Federal Drug Control Service, Federal Guard Service, and Federal Penitentiary Service will be responsible for placing orders, signing contracts, carrying out payments, and overseeing and monitoring execution of state defence procurement orders.
The Russian Federation Government was instructed to transfer the functions of the abolished Federal Service for Defence Contracts to federal executive bodies whose activities come under the Government’s responsibility. The federal executive bodies taking over functions previously performed by the Federal Agency for Supplies of Arms, Military and Special Equipment and Goods, and the Federal Service for Defence Contracts are these agencies’ legal successors, including with regards to obligations arising from the enforcement of court decisions.
