The relevance of the study is stipulated by the urgent need to urgently fill the suddenly emerging legal gaps caused by the expansion of the powers of non-governmental organizations that have been actively involved in the process of assisting combatants. The study aims to solve an important pragmatic problem: to ensure legal harmonization of procurement with the highest productivity and lowest legal and financial risks. The study uses a synthesis of general scientific, legal and sociological-legal approaches, methods, and techniques of scientific knowledge. As a result of the work carried out, the author managed to rethink the legal status of things as objects of civil rights in the light of the latest military realities. The legal algorithm of procurement of military and dual-use goods by non-governmental organizations is clarified; a parallel is drawn with the procurement procedure carried out by the relevant state-owned enterprises. The author comprehends the phenomenon of a trade mission in general and a trade mission burdened with a foreign element in the field of foreign economic activity in particular. The author analyses the conflict of laws clauses which can resolve the contradictions of counterparties in an international sale and purchase agreement. The author suggests ways for further scientific research in this area of research. The author structures the mechanism by which representatives of the public sector, including charitable organizations and foundations, may obtain licences for the purchase of military and dual-use goods for the army. It is argued that in practice, since the beginning of hostilities, these organizations, and foundations have been creating a worthy alternative to the State defence sector. These developments, in addition to their pragmatic significance, are also characterized by a certain theoretical significance, since they can be used for scientific research and solving problems in the field of property rights, the law of non-governmental organizations, foreign economic activity, as well as for developing and improving training courses in the field of civil, humanitarian and international law.
