Provisional injunction suspends Intman from the ComprasMX sanctioned parties list

The Eighth District Court in Administrative Matters in Mexico City granted the provisional suspension of indirect amparo 1591/2026 filed by Intman, S.A. de C.V., for the cancellation of its registration in the Registry of Sanctioned Providers and Contractors of the digital public procurement platform ComprasMX. The measure was announced through Circular AR07-10/2026, published in the Official Gazette of the Federation on August 21, 2026.

The circular was issued by the Responsibilities Area of the Internal Control Body of the Secretariat of National Defense, attached to the Secretariat of Anti-Corruption and Good Governance, and is addressed to the agencies and entities of the Federal Public Administration, the Attorney General’s Office of the Republic, the federal entities, the municipalities, and the territorial demarcations of Mexico City. The suspension derives from the Administrative Sanction Procedure for Providers 005/PAS/2024, from which the amparo trial in question arises.

The judicial resolution

By agreement dated July 31, 2026, the federal court, based on articles 139 and 150 of the Amparo Law, granted the provisional suspension requested by Intman, S.A. de C.V., through its legal representative, citizen John Lorenzo Díaz Salas. The effect is to provisionally prevent the execution of Circular AR07-08/2026 and, therefore, the permanence of the administrative sanction registration in the registry while the main trial is resolved.

The precautionary measure shall take effect immediately, but will cease to do so if the complaining party fails to provide proof of the guarantee before the collecting authority within five days, by any of the means permitted by law. The fixed guarantee is equivalent to:

• $1,182,408.00 (one million one hundred eighty-two thousand four hundred eight pesos 00/100 M.N.)

Scope of the suspension

In strict compliance with the agreement, the registration of the administrative sanctions imposed on Intman, S.A. de C.V., as well as on the natural person who represented it, John Lorenzo Díaz Salas, within the provider sanction procedure, is temporarily suspended until the amparo trial is resolved on its merits. The measure may impact the effectiveness of the authority’s sanctioning power, which is why a sufficient guarantee was set to answer for any damages and losses that may be caused, under the terms of articles 132, 135, and 136 of the Amparo Law.

Compliance and scope

In compliance with the agreement, the Head of the Responsibilities Area of the Internal Control Body of the Secretariat of National Defense, attorney Tomás Espinosa Ferrer, signed the circular on August 17, 2026, in Mexico City. The communication is published in the Official Gazette of the Federation for due observance by all recipient authorities.

The decision is relevant to the Mexican public procurement ecosystem, as it confirms that the registry of sanctioned parties is not an unappealable barrier and that the amparo (constitutional relief) offers a mechanism to suspend its effects while the merits of the case are resolved. At the same time, the established guarantee preserves the public interest and the sanctioning power of the authority, in a balance of interest to both providers and the institutions that contract with the State.
