Why this status?

  • No expiration date on record — timeline signals can't be computed.

These are transparent signals, not judgments. A large unspent balance may be a legitimate multi-year ceiling or indefinite-delivery contract.

Payments on this contract

28 checkbook lines totaling $3,047,741 are booked directly against this contract — this is the amount actually paid.
The contract’s own record lists $0 in its “delivery-order referenced” field — a $3,047,741 understatement. That field only counts payments made through delivery orders, so we treat the checkbook total above as the real amount paid.

Assessing delivery vs. commitment: Austin doesn’t publish structured project milestones, so we can’t auto-verify that the work matches the contract. What we can do is show what the money was invoiced for (above) and link the approved scope — then, where it matters, dispatch a Spotter to confirm the work on the ground. Contracts whose purpose is well-documented vs. vague is exactly the signal that tells us where to look first.
