Indicator C5 — Pattern Consistent with Contract Splitting

AI-verified / Na-verify ng AI Data as of October 21, 2026

Pattern Consistent with Contract Splitting

Multiple similar contracts to the same contractor/DEO just under a threshold in a short window.

This is a statistical anomaly or indicator worth examining — not proof of wrongdoing, fraud, or corruption against any person.

Indicator: 5 contracts awarded to A C SOLIVEN CONST & GEN MERCHANDISE by the same office started within 73 days, each between ₱42.5M and ₱50M (just under the ₱50M threshold), with 3 in the same municipality. It is common for flood control projects to be distributed across different rivers and locations within a province in a single procurement cycle.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.98

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

This is a C5 indicator, and the code has already confirmed that 5 contracts, all just under the ₱50M threshold, were awarded to the same contractor by the same DEO within 73 days, with 3 in the same municipality. The titles clearly refer to different rivers/creeks/segments/municipalities, which is expected for C5 and does not invalidate the indicator. There is no evidence of a data artifact.
