CPV finder

The Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV) is the code list a buyer uses to say what a notice is about. Find the codes for your products and open the tenders that carry them.

Military equipment

The military groups of division 35: weapons, vehicles, ships, aircraft, electronic systems and personal equipment.

353 · Weapons, ammunition and associated parts

356 · Military aircrafts, missiles and spacecrafts

Security, fire-fighting and police equipment

The rest of division 35. A civil buyer can use these codes too, so a code alone does not make a notice defence.

351 · Emergency and security equipment

Codes outside division 35 that name military or defence work

Construction, maintenance and services whose titles name military or defence work.

Common supply divisions

Every CPV division, with the groups of the divisions suppliers meet most: clothing, office and computing, electrical, communication, transport, laboratory and industrial equipment, construction materials, software, maintenance, transport and professional services.

Titles are the English names in the CPV 2008 vocabulary (Commission Regulation (EC) No 213/2008) as published by the Publications Office of the European Union, retrieved 2026-10-12. This is a selection of 366 of the vocabulary’s 9,454 codes, and the selection is ours. The complete vocabulary is on the EU Vocabularies site of the Publications Office.
