Abstract

At a time when environmental issues were discussed by world leaders who gathered in the city of Rio de Janeiro for the realization of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio +20) in 2012, and two years after the normative Instruction No. 1, January 19, 2010, establishing environmental sustainability criteria in purchasing goods in the Federal Public Administration, arises the need to perform the government procurement based on these criteria. The Procurement Law, main regulatory instrument of government purchases in the country, was amended by Law No. 12.349/2010 to include the promotion of sustainable development. The newly edited Decree No. 7.746/2012, regulated the 3rd article of the Bidding Law, allowing "organs and entities of the federal public administration", when preparing Bidding's notices, to define sustainable criteria. From the perspective that the Normative Instruction No. 1/2010 is the legal framework that imposes the realization of sustainable procurement and that there is a legal framework that consists of laws to regulate the sustainable procurement took place this study whose objectives were: i) conceptualize and perform the legal grounding of sustainable procurement; ii) execute the qualitative mapping of public purchases of the UFRB, that concerns goods, performed from 2011, verifying if the sustainability criteria, laid out in the in force legislation, were beheld; and iii) suggest environmental sustainability practices with regard to the government purchases, in order to contribute to the consolidation of public environmental policies.
