This contract's price is {value:.1f} standard deviations {direction} the average for similar {size_bucket} contracts in {state}. Peer group: {peer_count} contracts, median ${peer_median:,.0f}.

Awarded 2024-08-07 — 54 days before fiscal year end (Sep 30). End-of-year awards often have compressed timelines and reduced oversight.

This contract has unrealized obligation backlog — funds committed but work not yet performed. This can indicate project delays or budget holds.

Post-award modifications total 200% of the original award. Change orders exceeding 50% suggest scope creep, poor initial estimates, or intentional low-bidding.

First modification occurred shortly after award — before significant work could have been performed. Early scope changes may indicate incomplete requirements.

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.
