Overview
- The Economy Ministry’s Resolution 282/2026, published Thursday, opened a national and international tender on the CONTRAT.AR platform with questions due April 27 and bids due May 7.
- The state will sell 100% of Intercargo, the airport ground-handling firm, as a going concern that keeps contracts and operations, with a floor price of $45.12 million based on a BICE valuation.
- Bidders must show solvency and liquidity ratios of at least 1.20, post a 5% bid bond, and prove about 29.2 billion pesos in immediate cash to fund three months of operations.
