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 22I00035 lists a cost of ₱85.64M, 0.11% above its Approved Budget for the Contract of ₱85.54M. Under RA 9184, awards normally may not exceed the ABC. This may be due to a rounding error or a late adjustment to the ABC after the contract was awarded.
