Considering the Sustainable Procurement, this study has the general objective of verify the Sustainable Public Procurement in a Ministry of Brazil. Regarding the methodology in relation to the objectives it is descriptive, as the technical procedures is documentary and as to approach of the problem it is qualitative.In conclusion it was found that the criteria used in most edicts were requiring companies to provide their employees safety equipment that needed to be done the services, requiring INMETRO certifications and demand for recycled materials. It is emphasized that there was no official public institution or accredited institution certifying the requirements contained in the convocations instruments.
