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":"Browning Chapman","contracts":[{"id":"f465192d-383c-4da2-bce3-4ed020c9f088","date":"2017-02-06","amount":144230.0,"department":"Unknown"},{"id":"5cc0b4c9-7ac7-48ee-bcf4-4daaea22f309","date":"2017-04-10","amount":159195.0,"department":"Unknown"},{"id":"345221de-5e04-4924-b502-54d7c750b6f5","date":"2017-04-20","amount":168610.85,"department":"Unknown"}],"window_days":90,"content_hash":"1abb9a69b33b5054985293c9bc3b8af90aaf874e524317125d1d81d01605ed29","combined_total":472035.85,"contract_count":3},"published":true,"created_at":"2026-05-27T12:10:40.847090Z","related_entity_type":null,"related_entity_id":null,"reviewed_by":null,"reviewed_at":null,"reviewer_notes":null,"source_document_ids":null}
