Estudo da economicidade na despesa de custeio referente ao orçamento de 2012 na Marinha do Brasil

Abstract

The constant complaints of overpricing in government purchases, the excessive bureaucracy in procurement procedures, among other reasons, make the quality of public costing increasingly discussed and questioned. Academic researches analyzing the principles of the efficiency, efficacy, effectiveness and economicity in public administration show that the process of public procurement is inefficient. It was in this scenario that this dissertation aimed to evaluate the compliance with the principle of economicity in procurements conducted in 2012 in Brazilian Navy to the achievement of its operating expenses. For this, a descriptive research and the use of quantitative and qualitative methods were performed. The research consists of all 2,192 orders issued by Obtention Center of Brazilian Navy in Rio de Janeiro (COMRJ) in 2012 and all companies registered in the Integrated System of the General Services Administration (SIASG) that has engaged in any procurement process in the years 2011, 2012 or 2013. The results showed that the Brazilian Navy succeeded in its 2012 acquisitions, selecting the highest bidder, thus fulfilling the constitutional principle of economicity. The results also suggest that even having been economic in its purchases, the cost factors presented in the survey, if best studied and worked, may allow a further reduction in the prices of acquired goods for the Brazilian Navy.
