DC Contracts Scrutiny

Vendor Capture High Risk

Vendors receiving ≥40% of a single agency's total spend (agencies with >$500K total only).

Threshold Clustering Flag

Contracts between $85K–$100K. DC requires public posting above $100K — clustering just below is a red flag.

Repeat Sole-Source High Risk

Same vendor awarded sole-source by the same agency 3 or more times.

Contracting Officer Concentration

Officers controlling large spend to few vendors — potential conflicts of interest.

Fast-Growing Vendors Flag

Vendors whose contract value grew 3× or more year-over-year (FY2023 → FY2024).

Cross-Agency Vendors

Vendors embedded across 5 or more DC agencies.

Vague Contract Titles Flag

Contracts over $500K with non-specific titles like "consulting", "advisory", "professional services".
