Doing Business with MINDEF

The Defence Science and Technology Agency or DSTA is the central procurement agency for the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF), and the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF). 

Generally, MINDEF and the SAF define their needs and seek approval for their procurement requirements from the relevant authority. DSTA is responsible for the procurement process which includes sourcing, bid solicitation, evaluation, obtaining approval of purchase and contracting. DSTA is also responsible for contracting for disposal and sales of retired stores and equipment.
