The Order of Outstanding Merit (Uzbek: Buyuk xizmatlari uchun) is an order that is currently awarded by the Republic of Uzbekistan.
The Order of Outstanding Merit is made from a 925‑grade silver alloy plated with 0.25‑micron‑thick gold.
The order itself is a ruby‑coloured eight‑pointed star, with scattered green‑coloured triangles between the points of the star. In the centre is a blue‑coloured globe bearing the outline of Uzbekistan. The globe is surrounded by a white‑coloured circle inscribed with the words "for great services" at the top and a laurel wreath at the bottom.
The gilded intermediate block depicts Uzbekistan's national symbol: a Huma bird spreading its wings against the background of a rising sun.
The order weighs 65 grams and has a height of 7 millimetres.
