CPV classification
Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment falls under CPV division 35, and defence services under division 75. Within division 35, military vehicles and associated parts use 35400000, military electronic systems 35700000, and individual and support equipment 35800000, while protective and safety clothing is 35113400. Defence services are coded 75220000. Much demand from armed forces, such as fuel or food, carries ordinary civilian codes.
Eligibility and security requirements
Defence procurement often limits eligibility to registered or security-cleared suppliers, and some notices are only open to domestic companies. Some tenders also ask for end-user certificates, export licences, local-content commitments or a local representative. Specifications can be strict on standards and testing, so read the eligibility conditions of each tender before investing in a bid.

What documents are often required in defence tenders?
