DepEd/DOH Award Far Above Office Peers
A PhilGEPS award is at least 50× the median of the same office's awards in the same business category and year.
This is a statistical anomaly or indicator worth examining — not proof of wrongdoing, fraud, or corruption against any person.
Indicator: SOUTHERN PHILIPPINES MEDICAL CENTER awarded ₱20.54M to PRYCE GASES, INC. - DAVAO for 'Medical Oxygen' (2016-08-24), 280.2× the median of its 439 'Medical Supplies and Laboratory Instrument' awards in 2016 (₱73,320). PhilGEPS records do not list quantities, so order size cannot be compared. This may reflect a bulk or long-term supply order, but the PhilGEPS record does not specify the quantity or contract duration.
Only contractors and government agencies named in public procurement records are shown. Private individuals are not named.

Possible Innocent Explanations

- This may reflect a bulk or long-term supply order, but the PhilGEPS record does not specify the quantity or contract duration.
