Loading pattern matches
The dataset shows contracts recorded as not competed whose net obligations grew at least threefold beyond the first transaction through modifications, and beyond the ceiling (base plus all options) priced at award.
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 · app.award_current contracts · base_obligated (first transaction's federal_action_obligation) ≥ $100K · obligated_total (SUM of per-modification deltas) / base_obligated ≥ 3.0 AND ≥ p90 of growth ratios among modified contracts with the same PSC · obligated_total > 1.05 × the first transaction's base_and_all_options_value (growth within priced options is planned funding) · not competed: extent_competed_code ∈ {B not available, C not competed, G not competed under SAP, NDO non-competitive delivery order} or, when no competition code is recorded, an other_than_full_and_open authority · ≥ 1 modification · signal = growth ratio
The dataset shows contract 36C25820C0037 (TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PARTNERSHIP OF ARIZONA · 262-NETWORK CONTRACT OFFICE 22 (36C262)), recorded as not competed (NOT COMPETED; ONLY ONE SOURCE-OTHER (FAR 6.302-1 OTHER)), growing from a $1,002,148 first obligation to $10,895,799 in net obligations across 12 modifications — a 10.9× expansion, above the 90th percentile (2.6×) of modified contracts for PSC G099 (SOCIAL- OTHER).
Why this may be benign · The award has negative transactions (deobligations, de-scopes, closeout adjustments). Net totals near such rows can swing sharply without any change in scope (US-3).
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.
Non-competed awards cite a FAR 6.302 authority. Check whether the growth stayed within the scope and value the justification covered.
Compare net obligations with the base-and-all-options value. Growth inside priced options was justified at award; growth beyond it is the stronger signal.
Each transaction on the record page shows its own obligation and the running total. Look for the modifications that drove the growth and their descriptions.
These are calibrated suggestions, not directives. The dataset shows the pattern; the responsible officials decide the response.
