“Non-Monetary” State (Municipal) Contracts

There is no consensus in legislation, judicial and administrative practice, and scientific literature on the legality of concluding state (municipal) contracts with a price of zero rubles and zero kopecks («moneyless» contracts). The author of the article comes to the conclusion about the possibility of their conclusion for a number of reasons, including in connection with the refusal of the Russian legislator from the institutions of the minimum contract price and abnormally low applications, as well as the peculiarity of the subject composition of the state (municipal) contract (the state (municipal) customer is a non-profit organization that can act as a donee in a donation agreement with a commercial organization).
