Real estate
The administration management is housed in the Rhine property in Koblenz, the former seat of the Upper Presidium of the Rhine Province . Other large properties are in Koblenz-Rauental and Lahnstein (Deines-Bruchmüller-Kaserne).
staff
The Federal Office has 6,800 posts , 1,700 of them military and 4,600 posts in the subordinate area. There are 2,200 vacant posts in the office, 280 of them military. 180 external management consultants work at the BAAINBw (as of September 2019). By 2022, 1,000 employees will leave the Federal Office due to their age. Engineers , lawyers, and economists face the greatest recruitment difficulties .
Scope of tasks
The product range of defense material ranges from weapon systems such as tanks , military aircraft and warships to personal equipment for soldiers such as uniforms , assault rifles , combat helmets and canteens . On the other hand, "research and technology projects" are processed and the defense material is technically supervised during use. These tasks are partly carried out in-house and partly carried out by outsourcing to the private sector. The office bears the overall responsibility from the development of technical solution proposals to the implementation and management of use to the separation and recycling of defense material.
As the central “buyer” of the Bundeswehr, the BAAINBw is therefore an important public client. Depending on the type of undertaking or project, contracts for research, development, procurement or maintenance are concluded, which reach an annual volume of four to five billion euros.
As part of this civil armed forces administration, the BAAINBw is responsible for carrying out all armaments projects.
Other areas of responsibility include a. the recycling of discarded defense material, the technical evaluation of foreign defense material, damage investigations, equipment and equipment assistance for some non-NATO countries as well as the training of officials for technical careers for the entire Bundeswehr.
The tasks of the office are described in the customer product management document with the analysis phase, implementation phase and use phase. To ensure quality, quality checks can be used in all phases of the project process (quality gates). Industry can be called in to support the Office at all stages. In the implementation phase, the office prepares the award of development and procurement contracts to the industry, carries out the award procedure and awards the contract. To this end, the industry is obliged to adhere to the NATO quality assurance requirements and to carry out verification tests before acceptance.
history
Due to the merger of the Federal Office for Defense Technology and Procurement (BWB) with the Federal Office for Information Management and Information Technology of the Bundeswehr (IT-AmtBw) and the assumption of usage tasks that were previously carried out in other organizational areas of the Bundeswehr, the BAAINBw bears overall responsibility for the Equipment of the Bundeswehr, i.e. from the development of technical solution proposals through implementation and utilization control to the separation and recycling of defense material. The BAAINBw is thus the central technical service provider for the Bundeswehr and an important public client.
