Galmar Proyectos Integrales disqualified for three months due to sanctions on suppliers

The Anti-Corruption and Good Governance Secretariat notified all agencies and entities of the Federal Public Administration, state-owned public enterprises, the Attorney General’s Office, federal entities and their municipalities, as well as the territorial demarcations of Mexico City, that they must refrain from accepting proposals or entering into contracts with the company Galmar Proyectos Integrales, S. de R.L. de C.V. The order was published via a Circular in the Official Gazette of the Federation (Diario Oficial de la Federación) on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, publication number 232/2026.

The measure derives from a resolution issued on July 23, 2026, within the Administrative Sanction Procedure for Suppliers SP-003/2026-INCAR, processed by the Internal Control Body of the Secretariat of Health, through its Responsibilities Area. In it, two sanctions were imposed on the company: a fine and a temporary disqualification for a term of three (3) months to participate, directly or through an intermediary, in procurement procedures or to enter into contracts regulated by the Law on Acquisitions, Leases and Services of the Public Sector.

Scope of the prohibition

According to the fifth resolution of the ruling, the prohibition on contracting takes effect the day following the publication of the Circular in the DOF and extends for a period of three months. The authority warns that, if upon the expiration of that term the sanctioned party has not paid the imposed fine, the disqualification shall remain in effect until the corresponding payment is made.

For the company’s record to be removed from the Compras MX portal (formerly CompraNET), the sanctioned party must provide the Anti-Corruption and Good Governance Secretariat with the supporting document of payment, without the need for the publication of another notice.

Current contracts and federal funds

The Circular specifies that contracts already awarded and those currently formalized with Galmar Proyectos Integrales will not be included in the application of this measure, under the terms of Article 163 of the Regulations of the Law on Acquisitions, Leases and Services of the Public Sector.

Federal entities, municipalities, and territorial demarcations of Mexico City must comply with the stated provisions when the acquisitions, leases, and services they contract are funded totally or partially by federal funds, in accordance with the agreements they enter into with the Federal Executive.

Legal basis

The Circular is issued based on articles 14, 16, and 134 of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States; the Organic Law of the Federal Public Administration; articles 89, 90, fraction IV, and 91 of the Law on Acquisitions, Leases and Services of the Public Sector; and the Federal Law of Administrative Procedure, among other provisions.

The document was signed in Mexico City on August 20, 2026, by the head of the Responsibilities Area of the Internal Control Body in the Ministry of Health, Lic. Manuel Martínez Montañez.

The disqualification of a provider for three months immediately restricts its access to federal public procurement and processes funded with federal funds nationwide, a significant blow for a company operating in the comprehensive projects sector. For readers, the news confirms that the provider sanction system continues to operate with practical effects on public contracting, and that failure to pay the fine may prolong the exclusion beyond the initial term.
