Awards Clustered Just Under the Small Value Procurement Ceiling
3+ awards from one office to one supplier within 30 days, each 85–100% of the SVP ceiling, combined above it.
This is a statistical anomaly or indicator worth examining — not proof of wrongdoing, fraud, or corruption against any person.
Indicator: 6 awards from JOSE B. LINGAD MEMORIAL GENERAL HOSPITAL to GENZEN PHARMACEUTICAL TRADING between 2023-12-14 and 2024-01-03 were each between 85% and 100% of the ₱1.00M Small Value Procurement ceiling then in force (2016 Revised IRR of RA 9184, Annex H), totalling ₱5.83M. Worth checking whether they were separate requirements. It is possible that the hospital had urgent or staggered needs for different medicines, leading to multiple separate purchases within a short period.
Only contractors and government agencies named in public procurement records are shown. Private individuals are not named.

Possible Innocent Explanations
- Separate requisitions from different schools/units or recurring needs can fall near the ceiling legitimately; splitting is prohibited only when done to avoid competitive bidding.
