When the combined value crosses a procurement-approval threshold but each individual award stays below it, the pattern is classically called 'contract splitting' and warrants further review against the procurement code and any sole-source justifications. The pattern can also reflect legitimate phased work or multiple unrelated services with the same vendor. Tier 2: vendor-named observation, no individual characterization.","fiscal_year":null,"review_status":"auto","review_tier":2,"evidence":{"vendor":"New Life Day Center","contracts":[{"id":"1975ea78-34b5-4945-a645-9690168df717","date":"2017-03-29","amount":20000.0,"department":"Unknown"},{"id":"de0a974e-46af-45ba-9830-618e42b036d9","date":"2017-04-26","amount":50000.0,"department":"Unknown"}],"window_days":90,"content_hash":"bd5669194a8b3ae0fb6a545bf4b493484ed32e91c09bca1887cbe6ba36f7f729","combined_total":70000.0,"contract_count":2},"published":true,"created_at":"2026-05-27T12:10:41.598180Z","related_entity_type":null,"related_entity_id":null,"reviewed_by":null,"reviewed_at":null,"reviewer_notes":null,"source_document_ids":null}
