01
Issuing buyer and primary source
We identify the buyer and trace the opportunity to an official notice, agency page, meeting record, budget, or other attributable source where available.
Public-source intelligence. Human-reviewed. Pursuit-focused.
How we decide whether an opportunity is ready to act on.
A public notice alone is not a pursuit brief. Facility Signals checks the evidence, timing, barriers, buyer path, and customer fit before calling a finding actionable.
Automated monitoring runs around the clock on an hourly cycle. Surfaced opportunities are human-reviewed before they are presented as actionable; this does not imply continuous 24/7 human screen-watching.
02
Current status
We check whether the opportunity is active, upcoming, canceled, awarded, closed, or still only an early signal.
03
Deadlines and addenda
We record controlling dates and review posted amendments so an old deadline is not presented as current.
04
Scope and value
We separate stated scope, funding, estimates, and contract values from our analysis. Unknown values remain unknown.
05
Mandatory pursuit gates
We look for required meetings, site visits, registrations, prequalification, questions, and submission steps.
06
Qualification barriers
Licensing, bonding, insurance, certifications, set-asides, registrations, and other barriers are included only when supported by evidence.
07
Buyer and procurement path
We map the official purchasing route and a verified public or business contact path when one can be supported.
08
Vendor fit
We compare the service, territory, capabilities, qualifications, exclusions, and contract scale to the customer’s stated profile.
09
Exact next pursuit step
Every actionable brief states the next responsible move—such as reviewing documents, registering, attending a meeting, or monitoring a dated trigger.
10
Freshness
Every brief carries a last-verified date. Stale, closed, canceled, duplicate, or contradictory findings are held or relabeled rather than intentionally presented as active.
Decision standard
Confirmed fact, analysis, and unknown are kept separate.
Confirmed fact
Directly supported by a cited source and date.
Inference
Reasoned analysis labeled as analysis—not presented as a sourced fact.
Contrary evidence
Conflicts are shown and held for resolution rather than hidden.
Unknown
Missing critical information stays unknown and can keep a record in research.
Facility Signals uses legitimate public business and government sources. We do not claim access to nonpublic procurement information, and source availability is not guaranteed to be complete or real-time.
Facility Signals is not a government agency. We do not guarantee contract awards, responses, revenue, or procurement outcomes. Customers remain responsible for reviewing official documents and making their own qualification, licensing, compliance, bid, and proposal decisions.
