Awards Very Close to the Budget Ceiling

Contract cost is at or above 99.5% of ABC from Sumbong.

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

Indicator: contract 22OA0074 lists a cost of ₱21.78M, 1.05% above its Approved Budget for the Contract of ₱21.55M. Under RA 9184, awards normally may not exceed the ABC. This may be due to a data entry error or a post-award contract variation.
