SUMMARY:

Ensuring sustainable standards of consumption and production is a goal of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including the promotion of sustainable public procurement by 2030. In Brazil, food procurement by public institutions represents a significant share of government purchases, making it essential to assess the potential environmental, social, and economic impacts these purchases may generate. Thus, understanding the origin and production process of food acquired by public institutions is fundamental to promoting responsible consumption and production. This study aims to identify the origin of Meat and Meat Products (MMP) purchased by Federal Institutes of Education in Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN) and to evaluate the compliance with sanitary, physicochemical, and animal welfare requirements of the slaughterhouses supplying MMP to IFRN. To achieve this, an observational case study was conducted, using procurement data from MMP purchases made by IFRN through bidding processes from 2019 to 2022. Violations committed by the slaughterhouses supplying MMP identified in these bidding processes were analyzed using a database provided by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Supply (MAPA). Data from nine bidding records were obtained, covering 11 different types of MMP from 19 slaughterhouses, of which 11 were large-scale and 8 were medium scale. No small-scale slaughterhouses were present in the bidding processes analyzed. Among the MMP purchased, raw poultry meat had the highest procurement volume, with approximately 26,000 kg, followed by canned fish and raw beef, with 18,687 kg and 13,311 kg, respectively. A total of 577 violations were identified during the evaluated period, with 62% being sanitary violations, 8% physicochemical violations, and 30% related to animal welfare infractions. The data indicates that 58% of the slaughterhouses supplying MMP to IFRN during the analyzed period committed at least one type of violation. It is concluded that MMP purchased by Federal Institutes mainly originates from large-scale slaughterhouses, with the most common infractions being sanitary violations. However, a considerable percentage of violations related to animal welfare were also observed. Promoting fairer public procurement requires commitment from policymakers and administrators, ensuring that bidding criteria encourage a more diverse supplier base and prevent companies that fail to comply with both sanitary and animal welfare requirements from participating in procurement processes.
