Alcose del Centro disqualified for six months and 21 days

The Anti-Corruption and Good Governance Secretariat has disqualified the company Alcose del Centro, Sociedad Anónima de Capital Variable, for 6 months and 21 days; therefore, public agencies and entities must refrain from accepting its proposals or entering into contracts with it. The determination was communicated through Circular No. AR-01/2026, published in the Official Gazette of the Federation (number 309/2026) on November 11, 2026, in compliance with the FOURTH resolution of the ruling dated October 23, 2026, issued in case file PA-0001/2026.

The notice was issued by the Responsibilities Area of the Internal Control Body of the Airport, Railway, Auxiliary and Related Services Group, Olmeca-Maya-Mexica, S.A. de C.V., and was signed by its head, Angélica Yadira de Fuentes Aguirre, in Mexico City on November 5, 2026. The circular is based, among other provisions, on Article 90 of the Law on Acquisitions, Leases and Services of the Public Sector, as well as Articles 163, 164, 165, and 166 of its regulations, and is part of the administrative sanctioning procedure that concluded with the October resolution.

Scope and recipients of the prohibition

The restriction is not limited to the Federal Public Administration, as the communication is expressly addressed to:

• Agencies and entities of the Federal Public Administration.
• Federative entities and their municipalities.
• Territorial demarcations of Mexico City.
• Public entities of one and another.

The abstention includes participating “directly or through an intermediary person” in procurement procedures or entering into contracts regulated by the Law on Acquisitions, Leases and Services of the Public Sector. The measure takes effect from the day following its publication in the Official Gazette of the Federation and its registration in the Directory of Sanctioned Suppliers and Contractors of the Digital Platform for Public Procurement of the Federal Public Administration (Compras MX).

The disqualification is tied to the payment of the fine

The term of 6 months and 21 days runs alongside an economic sanction: if, on the day the disqualification expires, the company has not paid the fine imposed in the SECOND resolution of the ruling dated October 23, 2026, the disqualification shall persist until the payment is made. To prove this, the sanctioned party must present the corresponding evidentiary document to the Anti-Corruption and Good Governance Secretariat, upon which its registration in the Compras MX portal (formerly CompraNet) will be removed, without the need for the publication of another communication.

Ongoing contracts and acquisitions with federal funds

Contracts already awarded and those currently formalized with the infringing party are not covered by the application of the circular, under the terms of article 163 of the regulations of the acquisitions law. In contrast, federal entities, municipalities, the territorial demarcations of Mexico City, and the public entities of the former and latter must comply with the provisions when acquisitions, leases, and services are carried out total or partially using federal funds, in accordance with the agreements they enter into with the Federal Executive.

The publication closes the cycle of a procedure that began with the October resolution and leaves the company out of the public procurement market regulated by federal law until the second half of 2027, unless the fine is paid in advance. For bidders in the sector, the notice also serves as a signal that registration in Compras MX is the effective control point: registration in the directory of sanctioned parties is sufficient to block any award using federal resources throughout the country.
