Technical scope of the survey

According to the recitals, the procurement responds to the “Regularization Program for Movable and Immovable Property in Port Jurisdiction,” approved by Resolution 26/2025 of the Agency itself. The objective is to have a comprehensive system that allows for the generation of georeferenced images, three-dimensional models based on point clouds, and spatial databases.

This input will allow for the completion, updating, and consolidation of cadastral information for properties within the national port jurisdiction, the correct delimitation of said jurisdiction, progress in the ownership regularization of properties, and the strengthening of the agency’s geographic information systems. The procurement was exempted from benchmark price control, pursuant to article 3, paragraph f), of SIGEN Resolution No. 36-E/2017.

Financing and execution control

The expenditure will be covered by items from the General Budget of the National Administration, Jurisdiction 50, Entity 673, Financing Source 1.1, Subsection 3, Main Item 9, Partial Item 9:

• Fiscal Year 2026: $643,387,500.
• Fiscal Year 2027: $1,906,612,500.

Resolution 60/2026 delegated to the Legal and Administrative Coordination Management the authority to authorize the purchase order and appointed the members of the Reception Commission, which will verify the fulfillment of the services. Bruno Holzmann, Maximiliano Sposaro, and Juan Francisco Peyregne were appointed as titular members, and Vera Merdek, Manuela Bunge, and Mariano Costanzo as alternates. The measure was also disseminated through the notice in the Third Section of the same bulletin, corresponding to Public Tender 1/2026.

The contract represents one of the highest disbursements of the year regarding port infrastructure and aims to organize the cadastre of the properties under national jurisdiction, a preliminary step to any ownership regularization or investment in works. Its execution extends across two budget years; therefore, the monitoring of the purchase orders actually issued will determine how much of the maximum awarded amount is converted into services rendered.
