Abstract
Environmental sustainability in the Government’s daily self-management should be the subject of efficient public policies, especially in the management of public assets. In this sense, and through the deductive methodology, the article focuses on the analysis of the operation and management of public administration in dealing with the purchase of everyday equipment, in order to watch out the principles of environmental law and sustainable development, in accordance with bidding laws and eco-efficiency. Thus, the article discusses the steps of public policy and the guiding principles of public administration to pursue eco-efficient acts in its purchases of everyday items. In conclusion, the article attests the failure by the Brazilian federal government to observe the stages of public policy and the bidding legal principles on this matter.

We are going to start from the public policy issue, whose assessment is essential for the understanding of how the decision of purchasing material is made and how its interferences are important for compliance with environmental principles, especially ecoefficiency
Public policy is a set of interrelated decisions taken by a political actor or group of actors concerning the selection of goals and the means of achieving them within a specified situation where those decisions should, in principle, be within the power of those actors to achieve (JENKINS, 1978, p. 44)
Summary
The topic of environmental sustainability has received progressive attention from the Government, from the private sector and from the civil society in what concerns the management of public and private interests. Public policy cycles, allied to the eco-efficiency parameter, are going to be presented as efficient hypotheses to guide sustainable bidding processes when the public management is purchasing everyday supplies. The text is addressing the principle of efficiency, public policy preparation cycles, legal-environmental principles – especially the one of eco-efficiency – and the application of such concepts to the federal bidding process when purchasing everyday supplies for the public administration. The text is going to put the authors’ point of view forth on whether the Federal Public Administration follows or not the stages regarding public policies as well as eco-efficiency and the principles that rule its performance when purchasing everyday supplies
