Value increased after award

What it measures

The contract’s value rose after it was first published.

When it applies

An increase of at least 50% and at least $1 million from the first published value.

Why it matters

Agencies must publish amendments that change a contract’s value. Large increases can mean the original scope or price was understated.

Common explanations

Additional work or an extended term agreed after award. Options in the original contract that were later taken up. A correction to a value entered wrongly.
