inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) is engaging the Republic of Indonesia's Money Printing Company (Peruri) to ensure transparency in the provision of Information and Technology (IT) solutions to ensure the success of the Free Nutritional Meals Program (MBG).
BGN Head Dadan Hindayana made this statement in response to a viral issue regarding the IDR 1.2 trillion budget for IT solutions for the National Nutrition Fulfillment Information System (SIPGN), as well as the provision of IT and IoT infrastructure services.
He emphasized that the selection of strategic partners and budget implementation in the 2025 fiscal year were carried out under strict supervision and in accordance with applicable regulations to ensure national data security.
Dadan explained that of the available budget, the current allocation is allocated for two crucial needs. First, the development of the SIPGN application, which includes various modules, with an estimated value of IDR 550 billion. Second, the provision of managed services for IoT devices, with an estimated value of IDR 199 billion.
"Peruri's involvement in this strategic program is an integrated step by the state. It must be emphasized that Peruri has transformed into a technology company that provides high-security technology services. This aligns with the mandate of Government Regulation (PP) Number 6 of 2019, which authorizes Peruri to provide digital security solutions for government agencies," explained Dadan, Wednesday (4/22/2026).
According to him, Peruri's status as Government Technology Indonesia, based on Presidential Regulation Number 82 of 2023, is the main reason why this institution is entrusted with managing the national digital transformation of the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE).
To address public concerns regarding strategic partners and procurement procedures, Dadan outlined Peruri's solid digital track record, including its position as the only state-owned Electronic Certification Provider (PSrE) under the Ministry of Communication and Digital and a provider of electronic stamp systems.
"The entire collaboration process with BGN is carried out transparently, in accordance with applicable regulations, and prioritizes the principles of good corporate governance. We ensure there is no room for irregularities because this concerns the sovereignty of the Indonesian people's nutritional data," said Dadan.
