The dataset shows recipients of large VA awards whose SAM.gov registration expired within a year of their latest VA award action and was still not renewed at least 90 days later.
Glassbox VA surfaces correlations and observations, not findings of misconduct. Severity is the size of the match (dollars, growth ratio, concentration or firm count), not the likelihood of a problem; evidence strength (0–1) shows how well the data supports the match. Both are a starting point for review, not a verdict.
The match meets the pattern threshold, in the lower size band.
A mid-sized match. Pull the source records and read the listed benign explanations first.
The largest size band for this pattern. Larger matches are listed first; size is not evidence of a problem.
Severity is computed from the detection signal · recipient VA obligations ≥ $1M · sam.entity.registration_expiration_date < last public extract date, or last_seen_src_date < latest extract · lapse within 12 months after the recipient's latest award action · lapse ≥ 90 days before the extract date (shorter gaps are routine renewal lag) · one extract loaded, which keeps expired registrations for 6 months · severity capped at attention · signal = months between last award and lapse

Once a match is identified, the dataset suggests these review actions. Glassbox VA does not prescribe outcomes — these are calibrated options for contracting officers, auditors, and program officers, framed as correlations to investigate.
A registration lapse after contract completion is routine. A lapse during performance, or with open orders, deserves a call to the contracting officer.
Mergers and novations retire UEIs. Search SAM.gov for the firm's new registration before drawing conclusions.
These are calibrated suggestions, not directives. The dataset shows the pattern; the responsible officials decide the response.
Aggregated from the matches below. Severity bands are calibrated per pattern; counts and dollar totals reflect this snapshot only.
