For shielding & secure-facility contractors

The shielding scope is never in the record headline. We find it anyway.

Longlead AI reads MILCON J-books, SAM.gov, CON filings, and building permits, then runs inference to surface the RF/EMI, SCIF, and MRI scope hidden inside them. On major federal projects, that is typically 9–18 months before the GC buys out your scope.

Modeled on a real MILCON line in Longlead AI's regression suite; scope value from configured bands — an estimate, never a quote.

/0.1 — Before the bid

When the bid opens, the relationship could already exist.

Longlead AI turns early public signals into cited opportunities. You use the lead time to reach the right GC and build trust while the project and requirements are still taking shape.

The Longlead advantage
Bid boards put you at the door with everyone else. Longlead gives you time to build the relationship before it opens.

The software identifies and cites the opportunity. You decide what to pursue and make the call.

Every opportunity links to its original public record.

/0.2 — Denominated in your dollars

A fitted feed reads as revenue you can pursue, not a list of links.

Found months ahead of the bid board.

Feed-level range measured 2026-08-07 on a live feed configured for one shielding trade with no territory limit, not a customer's feed. It sums the displayable configured scope bands inside an estimated lead-time window of 24 months, anchored to each record's own dates rather than to today, after dropping every opportunity whose own record dates mark it as passed: performance window ended, or buyout likely already let. It was measured before the feed also began setting aside leads whose estimated lead window has elapsed, so it can include some of those. Bands are estimates, never quotes. The single-row figure is modeled on a real record in Longlead AI's regression suite. Estimates and illustrations of a fitted feed, never a promise of awards.

/0.3 — What it watches

Public records your buyers can't help but leave behind.

MILCON J-books

DoD budget justification lines: secure facilities appear here long before construction awards.

SAM.gov solicitations

Sources-sought and design-build RFPs, with the notice documents read in full for scope triggers.

USASpending prime awards

Design and construction primes whose facilities imply your sub-tier scope, plus recompete timing.

State CON filings

Certificate-of-Need imaging and treatment projects (NY, NC, GA, VA live), the earliest commercial signal.

Municipal permits & TX TABS

Building permits across covered metros and the Texas Architectural Barriers System for imaging buildouts.

Configured scope boundary

  • Defense RF/EMI & TEMPEST
  • SCIF / ICD-705 integration
  • Medical radiation (LINAC, PET, CT/X-ray)
  • Medical MRI RF / Faraday rooms
  • Blast & ballistic hardening

Your boundary is configuration, not a suggestion: the services you don’t sell are enforced as exclusions, so near-miss false positives are rejected before they reach you.

Every one of them starts as a line in a public record.

This modeled record says

MILCON J-book line · Clear SFS, Alaska

Longlead AI infers

A radar mission-control facility of this class requires RF/EMI shielding, SCIF buildout, and TEMPEST protection. None of that appears in the budget line.

What you get

A feed matched to your exact scope boundary

RF yes, lead-lining no? Faraday rooms yes, cleanrooms no? Your in/out list is configuration the engine enforces. Near-miss false positives are rejected before they reach you.

The prime or GC to call, named in your qualification brief

Every opportunity arrives as a cited qualification brief: the J-book line, VA construction budget line, solicitation, award, filing, or permit it was inferred from, your confidence and lead time, the value band, the likely prime or GC to call, and what's still unconfirmed. You make the call, from your own channels. Nothing leaves the system.

Confidence, timing, and the citable record on every row

Every prospect links the specific public record it was derived from: a J-book line, a SAM notice, a CON filing. Each carries a confidence score and a lead-time window grounded in the signal's actual date.

Modeled on a real record in Longlead AI's regression suite; scope value from configured bands — an estimate, never a quote.

/0.7 — Lead time

Flagged while it's still a budget line.

Everything you can buy today surfaces at bid stage. Longlead AI works the months before that, typically 9–18 on major projects, per signal, never a blanket promise.
