RM17-0145, CNIC Base Support Consolidation, Bldg. H1 at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, ME 4

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 96% of the original award. Change orders exceeding 50% suggest scope creep, poor initial estimates, or intentional low-bidding.

This agency's spending on this type of work increased significantly vs prior years. Rapid spending increases often outpace oversight capacity.

The Government Accountability Office has identified contract management challenges in this agency's operational area, recommending strengthened management controls. This is a systemic observation about the procurement environment, not a reflection on any individual contract or contractor.
