Possible Innocent Explanations

The record grade summarises public DPWH project data (delays, flags) and is not a disqualification; agencies may have had no blacklist basis to exclude the contractor.
A D grade may reflect delays or issues in some DPWH projects but does not necessarily mean the contractor is ineligible or unqualified for DepEd/DOH awards.
