BLDG 329 Dpw Office Renovation, Grafenwoehr

Awarded 2023-08-30 — 31 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.

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

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