The short answer
Conviction: Program-Related Crime is the statutory reason on 4 of 5 LEIE rows tagged to CONTRACTOR (80%).
The live HHS OIG List of Excluded Individuals/Entities lists 5 exclusions tagged to CONTRACTOR (0.0% of tracked rows). Largest state concentration: CA (2 rows). Volume tracks federal billing exposure and audit pathways, not a misconduct rate inside the specialty. Dataset vintage: August 2026.
Thin LEIE volume band
CONTRACTOR in the thin-volume third
Thin volume can mean fewer federal billers, less audit exposure, or genuinely lower violation rates ; CA still concentrates 40% of this sparse book. LEIE alone cannot separate those causes.
