Spanish term or phrase: órdenes de base
Hi there

I'm having difficulty with the phrase 'órdenes de base' in the following paragraph. The rest of it is fine, but 'órdenes de base' is obviously something very specific, and I have no idea what it is! Would be very grateful if anyone could help me!

Por otra, limita el número de órdenes de bases y de convocatorias (una por cada línea instrumental y por programa nacional respectivamente), mediante un proceso que será dirigido y supervisado por la Comisión Interministerial de Ciencia y Tecnología (CICYT), como órgano de planificación, coordinación y seguimiento del Plan Nacional y, por tanto, de unidad de acción Gubernamental.

Thanks!

Explanation:
Parece referirse al inicio de un proceso que podría complicarse si hay multiples peticiones que lo originen, ya que cada una iniciaría una nueva instancia del proceso que genera. Por eso el "órgano de planificación, coordinación y seguimiento" para evitar el desperdicio por la duplicidad de inversión de recursos que generarian multiples peticiones por lo mismo.
