After his appointment as the head of the State Logistics Operator, Arsen Zhumadilov announced changes in procurement, including food for the military. According to him, the State Logistics Operator will divide the 407 items in the catalog of food for the military into approximately 30-35 categories, each of which will have separate contracts and procedures.
