Is this supposed to be happening? Every year or two, I get offered Numa's Breath on a different planet (great!) plus the trade of 1200 alloys for 1000 consumer goods (worthless, since I don't use consumer goods as a hive mind).
Caravaneers Offer Same Thing Over and Over...

It's RNG. But some deals can only fire once, or get a much reduced percentage if you already picked it before.
You can check common/scripted_effects/caravaneer_scripted_effects for details.

I've actually noticed that there is a 'good' which each 'trip' of caravaneers will sell every time they enter your borders. So if you have an empire with a lot of protectorates inside your territory for them to visit you can kind of game this to do things like buy two or more of those fancy cruisers.
I've not done extensive testing on this but I noticed in one of my games with a super isolated protectorate the caravaneers would always come by and offer me a chance to buy something twice (once for entering my territory from outside, and once for entering my territory from my protectorate).
It was really convenient actually and I'm considering using this in a vassal heavy game to maximize my caravaneer exploitation.

I think I ran into same scenario a while back. Playing with half the galaxy as tributaries, I noticed deals occasionally repeating. Including some unique ones.
Checking the scripts (caravaneer_scripted_events & caravaneer_events), this is exactly what appears to be happening.
While it sets only one country flag. The events to execute the deals fire upon entering your territory. And it seems to repeat because it doesn't remove the country flag at the same time as executing the deals.
I got offered the make a borehole (add 2 energy districts and 3 district max) for 200 minerals 3 times in a short period. Its because there was an unclaimed system that they insisted on passing through. This lead to them entering my territory, hitting the unclaimed system, reentering my territory, hitting the dead end and turning around, then passing through the unclaimed system again.
