Berlin / Bruchsal (dpa) - According to the Defense Ministry, violations occurred when assigning orders for the Special Forces Command (KSK) of the Bundeswehr.
Services and benefits in kind have been ordered from companies for many years, but not advertised for no good reason, the ministry said on request.
In a random sample of 200 award procedures, 97 the unique selling proposition of the contractor was claimed, mostly wrongly.
The department of Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer (CDU) confirmed a report by NDR and MDR.
The examination for the period between 2014 and 2020 by the Federal Office for Infrastructure, Environmental Protection and Services of the Bundeswehr was initiated, among other things, by information in internal reports.
The services that the KSK ordered include training by external companies, ordnance defense or clothing.
Both the KSK in Calw and the Bundeswehr service center in Bruchsal were examined at the beginning of this year.
The second interim report on the reforms in the KSK should be sent to parliament on Tuesday.
The KSK has hit the headlines more than once, most recently through the affair over hoarded ammunition.

The ministry emphasized that there are very narrow limits to the direct award of contracts.
If the unique selling point is asserted, then the market must first be screened for other providers and this must also be documented.
In many cases this was not the case.
Large contracts should have been put out to tender;
three comparison offers should have been obtained for smaller ones.
In some cases, the Bruchsal authority was also able to get past the “Handgeld für Kommandoure”, and in some cases it was involved too late.
The service center is now being examined for sufficient staffing levels: This concerns the assigned posts - i.e. the positions - and their occupation.
Maybe you have to readjust, it said.
