The arrêté modifying the arrêté du 22 décembre 2022 relatif aux données essentielles des marchés publics changes the recipient of defence-and-security procurement data. In articles 2, 4-II, 5-II and 8-II, data on marchés de défense ou de sécurité is now communicated to the Conseil national de la commande publiqueLegifrance instead of the observatoire économique de la commande publique
Legifrance: the data listed at I–IV of article 1er (article 2), initial data at I–II of article 1er by 31 March of the year after notification (article 4-II)
Legifrance, modification data at III–IV of article 1er by 31 March of the year after the modification notice (article 5-II)
Legifrance, and the same data in the formats, standards and nomenclatures of the annexed référentiels (article 8-II)
Legifrance. Ordinary contract data still goes to the open-data portal via the buyer profile within two months of notification.

The overseas-application clause is also updated. Article 10-II now provides that the arrêté's provisions — except 8° of I of article 1er — apply in Wallis-et-Futuna, French Polynesia, New Caledonia and the Terres australes et antarctiques françaisesLegifrance in the wording resulting from the arrêté du 2 octobre 2026 relatif au fonctionnement et à la composition du Conseil national de la commande publique (NOR: ECOM2620251A)
Legifrance, replacing the previous reference to the arrêté du 18 mars 2024
Legifrance. Article 10-I is unchanged: for Saint-Barthélemy and Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, 8° of I of article 1er is deleted.
Legifrance
For practitioners, the operative effect is routing, not substance: defence and security contract data that used to be sent to the observatoire économique de la commande publique goes to the Conseil national de la commande publique, on the same 31 March deadlines and in the same formats, while buyers in the four Pacific and southern collectivities apply the text as amended by the 2 October 2026 CNCP order.
Legal basis: the arrêté modifiant l'arrêté du 22 décembre 2022 relatif aux données essentielles des marchés publics, amending articles 2, 4-II, 5-II, 8-II and 10-II of that orderLegifrance, with the overseas reference to the arrêté du 2 octobre 2026 relatif au fonctionnement et à la composition du Conseil national de la commande publique (NOR: ECOM2620251A).
Send defence and security contract data to the Conseil national de la commande publique by 31 March of the year after notification, in the annexed formats.
