Cardio Cath Lab Site Prep PROJECT# 630-CSI-106 3

Only one company submitted a bid. Reduced competition may indicate barriers to entry, poor solicitation visibility, or pre-determined outcomes.

Awarded 2020-09-25 — 5 days before fiscal year end (Sep 30). End-of-year awards often have compressed timelines and reduced oversight.

Post-award modifications total 100% of the original award. Change orders exceeding 50% suggest scope creep, poor initial estimates, or intentional low-bidding.

Initial award was below peer average, then modifications added scope. This buy-in pattern — underbidding to win, then recovering margin through change orders — is a documented procurement risk.
