Padronização de materiais bélicos na Polícia Militar do Espírito Santo: análise de viabilidade conforme a nova lei de licitações e contratos administrativos

Abstract

Public safety is a fundamental right guaranteed by the Federal Constitution of 1988, and the Military Police plays an essential role in ensuring public order.

For its officers to carry out this mission effectively, they must use adequate and standardized military equipment. This study examines the technical and legal conditions provided by Law No. 14,133/2021, highlighting Articles 40 to 44, for the acquisition of standardized military equipment by the Military Police of Espírito Santo.

Thus, this research explores how standardization can increase operational efficiency and the technical training of professionals, in addition to promoting improvements in public management and citizen safety. The research adopts a qualitative approach, with an exploratory and descriptive nature. The dialectical scientific method is used to analyze how the principles established in legislation can be applied to the situation of SMEs, thus allowing a clearer understanding of the legal norms that underpin standardization. To this end, the research involves a bibliographic review of specialized literature on Administrative Law, Public Procurement, and Public Security. A legislative analysis was conducted focusing on the Federal Constitution and Law No. 14,133/2021, as well as regulations relevant to SMEs. The documentary research is exemplary in nature, presenting case law and technical notes from other institutions that have implemented policies for the standardization of military equipment. Indeed, the study exposes the innovations introduced by Law No. 14,133/2021, emphasizing the principle of standardization. It also explores the importance of standardization for Public Security, detailing the impacts on the operational efficiency of SMEs. Finally, it presents an analysis of the legal feasibility of weapons standardization, presenting proposals for specific regulation within the scope of the SMES. Finally, it concludes that articles 40 to 44 of Law No. 14,133/2021 authorize the acquisition of standardized materials, which may be applicable to the actual military materials to be acquired by the SMES. To this end, it proposes the adoption of a structured procedure that will allow the entire weapons acquisition process through standardization to be guided by constitutional principles.
