The companies Soluciones de Centroamerica S.A. and Tactical Group S.A. also submitted bids for this tender; however, the bidding board decided to reject both bids.
The government of Guatemala has announced that in September the specifications will be ready to tender 5,000 devices for control and telematic tracking of people.

The tender for the service of electronic tax stamps for containers passing through Guatemalan customs will no longer be carried out, meaning that several companies will be able to offer their services independently.

In Guatemala, a call to take part in a qualification process is being made to companies interested in bidding for an electronic marketing service, a process to be held in an information meeting on June 26.
The tax stamps will be used in the county's customs posts and the meeting in which the details of the contracting process will be provided, was convened by the Superintendency of Tax Administration (SAT).
