About us
The State Operator For Non-Lethal Acquisition (DOT) is a state agency that fulfills the needs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Guided by the principles of integrity and human-centricity, we supply food, clothing, fuel and oil to meet military needs.
We believe that supplying the army should not only be marketable but also honorable. Our task is to develop an appropriate supplier relationship system, enhancing the value of every hryvnia invested from the state budget.
Our ambitious goal is to become a driver in developing the supply system to NATO standards for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
