To manage the large amount of defence procurement, the military has built solid procurement practices based on Government Procurement Act and Prescribed Military Authority Procurement Practices to ensure that procurement subject can be obtained of good quality and in due time. On August 1st, 2008, the military enforce Ｎotice for Military Personnel on Clean Government Ethics as to comply with government requirement on clean government and set an example against corruption. Looking at the major military procurement scandals these years, we find that some procurement staff fall into temptation and seduction of the immoral vendors so as to act illegally, which seriously damage military image and spirit. This research subject aims at military arms factory, an important unit for arms demand, whose top mission is to do researches and produce arms. Since the acquirement of parts and accessories is complicated and many are bought through civilian companies, the task to strengthen procurement staff clean government ethics and prevent any corruption becomes an inevitable and essential subject. Through domestic and international literary reviews on government procurement and by means of in-depth interviews, this study attempts to understand the interrelations and practices of four major units—the acquired unit, procurement staff, comptroller staff and inspectors. The study aims to focus on the following points: first,to investigate on the current procurement mechanism and find out the most vulnerable chain causing corruption; second, to understand procurement staff’s recognition of clean government ethics and streghten it; third, to analyze the advantages and weaknesses of propaganda on current procurement policy and suggest methods to increase promotion. The study finds that in the phase of procurement planning, public bidding, performance, and acceptance, it is easier to have procurement corruption, for instance, peculiar specifications made during equiry phase,the uncovering of a base price or not inspecting on delivery. Courses of Procurement Professionals Training Base by Public Construction Commission Executive Yuan and Resolves instances of government procurement by local institutions effectively upgrade administrative recognition of procurement staff and are beneficial to corruption prevention. In addition, propaganda on procurement policy has little effect due to busy and senior staff. The study suggests to increase benefit feedback mechanism, to record vendor compliance status and to trace the status and quality of procurement subject for the future reference. Besides, the unit chief should be included in the training of Procurement Professionals Training Base and other local advanced procurement courses in order to elevate the recognition of clean government ethics and against corruption. The content of the propaganda can be presented through comics, posters and unit drama to increase promotion impression.
