Mexico Bars IMSS Supplier for One Year After False Compliance Filing

The anticorruption secretariat imposed a MXN 134,664 fine, registering Luis Carlos Manzano Elizalde in the federal sanctions directory after the IMSS control office found he submitted a false social‑security compliance opinion.

Overview

  • The sanction was notified on December 17 and took legal effect with its publication in the Diario Oficial de la Federación in late December 2025.
  • Luis Carlos Manzano Elizalde is prohibited from participating directly or indirectly in federal procurement for one year.
  • The case stems from an open IMSS contract for orthoses and prostheses (ABTN202004050034) awarded under tender LA-050GYR035-E11-2020.
  • The sanctioned party was added to the national Directory of Sanctioned Suppliers and Contractors, blocking new contracts during the ineligibility period.
  • The Secretaría Anticorrupción y Buen Gobierno, led by Raquel Buenrostro, says the penalty is lawful and proportionate, and the supplier may still challenge the resolution.
