Anti-Corruption Secretariat Bars IMSS Supplier for One Year Over False Compliance Data

The measure follows findings that the contractor submitted a falsified social‑security compliance opinion tied to a 2020 IMSS prosthetics and orthotics award.

Overview

  • Luis Carlos Manzano Elizalde was fined 134,664 pesos and disqualified from federal contracting for one year, directly or indirectly.
  • The Órgano Interno de Control at IMSS imposed the sanction for false information provided during contract ABTN202004050034 from tender LA-050GYR035-E11-2020.
  • The resolution was notified on December 17, 2025, and published in the Diario Oficial de la Federación on December 26.
  • The supplier was added to the federal sanctions directory, blocking participation in future Government of Mexico procurements during the ban.
  • The Secretariat, led by Raquel Buenrostro, says the penalty is legally grounded and proportionate, and it will defend it while the sanctioned party retains the right to appeal.
