Viabilidade de parceria público-privada para a gestão da infraestrutura de armazenagem de mercadorias apreendidas da Secretaria Especial da Receita Federal do Brasil

Abstract

The expansion of outsourcing in logistics operations and the rise of Public-Private Partnerships may subsidize a new management model for Seized Goods Warehouses, where the storage infrastructure concession may be an alternative in the scope of asset resource optimization and activity specialization. Through a qualitative methodology, based on a descriptive and exploratory analysis, the study contextualizes the policies for the storage of seized goods at the Secretariat of Federal Revenue of Brazil (RFB) and explores the concepts related to logistics operations integration and Public-Private Partnerships for a feasibility analysis of the expansion of private participation in the management of the RFB's Deposits of Seized Goods (DMA). As a result, it shows that the concession may be more feasible for warehouses that already adopt the outsourced model or that are classified by the RFB as suitable to adopt such a model. Logistics arrangements that include other operations in the goods management chain, such as transport and waste disposal, may increase private companies' attractiveness and consequently improve the viability of the concession of the RFB's warehouses, especially in places far from large commercial centers, such as border regions. The creation of regional or inter-regional specialized warehouses according to goods category would be another possibility, reducing the destination difficulties and increasing capacity through specialization. The small warehouse concession with low goods flow proves to be unviable, whereby they can provide a local pre-storage role linked to a regional or inter-regional DMA.
