Is it possible to use outdated versions of items in the catalog of goods, works, services when describing the object of purchase?
Representatives of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation in their letter noted that in the presence of an updated version (version) of the position of the catalog of goods, works, services, regardless of the date of the beginning of its mandatory application, the previous version is not subject to application, since changes to the catalog positions may be due, among other things, to the introduction of changes or recognition as invalid of regulatory legal acts, documents on standardization, on the basis of which the catalog position was formed. At the same time, the previous editions of the catalog items of goods, works, services are stored in a single information system in the field of procurement for review.
Recall that paragraph 2 of the Rules for the use of items in the catalog of goods, works, services states that the catalog is used by customers in order to ensure the use of information about goods, works, services, including in the notice of procurement, contract, contract register, as well as to describe the objects of procurement.
