Overview

  • Segob, through RENAPO, opened a national electronic tender (LA-04-812-004000998-N-59-2025) for an open-contract cloud operation service running through February 29, 2028, with a clarification meeting on August 22, proposal submission on August 30 and award on September 3.
  • The budget framework sets annual minimums and maximums with a global cap of MXN 520 million and a floor of MXN 350 million, allowing the government to order services as needed and pay against deliverables and service levels.
  • The technical brief requires a private-cloud PaaS with containers, high availability, load balancing, role-based authentication, API exposure and monitoring, plus new hardware, 24/7 vendor support, at least three months of log retention and a two‑month migration to container platforms before steady operations.
  • Security specifications call for Gartner‑leader solutions with AI for threat correlation and containment, protections for containers and CI/CD, proactive monitoring and resilience against denial‑of‑service attacks.
  • Authorities must accept the biometric CURP starting October 16, 2025, with the platform due before October 15; CDMX runs a voluntary, free pilot, Nayarit has installed a DIF module awaiting go‑live this month, data will reside in the Plataforma Única de Identidad and applicants must present a certified birth certificate, valid ID, validated CURP, recent proof of address and an active email.
