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":"Seagrave Fire Apparatus","contracts":[{"id":"1723ec50-811a-4422-8018-815555eda0d8","date":"2023-01-24","amount":1642683.0,"department":"Unknown"},{"id":"01e3e6f1-28c4-4fcb-b688-09af027c5a53","date":"2023-03-06","amount":1869224.0,"department":"Unknown"},{"id":"03b0c22e-12d5-454c-9376-c733f6d1957e","date":"2023-03-07","amount":981513.0,"department":"Unknown"}],"window_days":90,"content_hash":"e3227b878a92a367f3f42d74d245d453a6867624ce7aec3264b72892c6af77af","combined_total":4493420.0,"contract_count":3},"published":true,"created_at":"2026-05-27T12:10:41.794184Z","related_entity_type":null,"related_entity_id":null,"reviewed_by":null,"reviewed_at":null,"reviewer_notes":null,"source_document_ids":null}
