WHAT IS PRIME LEADS?

A weekly recompete monitoring service for small government contractors.

Prime Leads is a weekly federal contract recompete monitoring service for small government contractor primes and subcontractors. The product scans public procurement sources such as USAspending.gov, SAM.gov Contract Opportunities, GAO bid protest decisions, and selected agency forecasts, then sends a Monday memo with five to ten sourced recompete opportunities in the customer's NAICS footprint.

Each memo entry includes the contract, incumbent, agency, cliff date, evidence summary, confidence label, source trail, and one recommended next action. Prime Leads is designed for small capture teams that already know their lanes and want recurring recompete judgment without maintaining another saved-search workflow.

THE PRODUCT

Prime Leads is the spreadsheet, sharpened.

Prime Leads is a Cleo product with one job: tell small government contractor primes and subs which federal contracts in their NAICS footprint are actually approaching recompete, before competitors notice.

Recompete Radar arrives every Monday with five to ten entries, ranked by confidence. Each one gives the contract, incumbent, cliff date, evidence, source links, and one move to make this week.

WHAT ONE ENTRY LOOKS LIKE

The memo is the product. This is one entry.

A Prime Leads memo entry is a sourced recompete recommendation for one federal contract approaching a credible cliff. Each entry includes the contract, incumbent, agency, cliff date, award value when available, NAICS code, confidence label, evidence summary, source trail, and one recommended action for the current week.

This public preview is illustrative: format-real and source-shaped, but not a live source pull. Paid memos use current public-source pulls, your approved footprint, and founder review before delivery.

Memo field	Why it matters
Contract and incumbent	Names the work, current awardee, agency, and vehicle so the opportunity can be checked against public records.
Cliff date and value	Shows the expected timing and award value when public data supports those fields.
Evidence summary	Explains why the recompete signal is credible, including PoP dates, option history, notices, or modifications.
Confidence label	Maps the public evidence to HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW so a small team knows how urgently to act.
Next move	Gives one action for the current week, such as reviewing a task order, calling the contracting officer, or finding a teammate.

ENTRY 1 OF 5 HIGH CONFIDENCE

TQI Solutions Inc.

Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard IT support

Cliff date: Aug 14, 2026 (97 days)
Award value: $54.8M
Agency: Department of the Navy - NAVSEA
NAICS: 541512

Why we think this is real

The current period of performance ends August 14, option history appears exhausted, and a matching NAVSEA Sources Sought is already live in the same NAICS lane.

What we'd do this week

Read the original task order next to the Sources Sought language, then write a one-page capability statement keyed to the deltas.

VERSUS

How does Prime Leads compare with spreadsheets, HigherGov, and analysts?

Prime Leads differs from spreadsheets, broad market-intelligence platforms, and capture analysts by turning public recompete signals into a curated Monday memo. The product focuses on weekly recompete judgment for a known contractor footprint.

Workflow	What it does	How Prime Leads differs
Spreadsheet	Internal tracker that records PoP end dates and saved-search exports.	Prime Leads scores end dates as predictions, checks public signals, and explains why a cliff is credible.
HigherGov	Broad government market intelligence search workflow with recompete data inside a larger research platform.	Prime Leads narrows the job to a curated Monday memo for recompetes in your approved footprint.
Capture analyst	$8K to $12K/month strategic help for capture planning, teaming, and bid decisions.	Prime Leads does not replace analyst judgment; it supplies the source feed and first-pass weekly recompete read.

How is Prime Leads different from HigherGov?

Prime Leads is different from HigherGov because it does not ask a small capture team to run another broad search workflow. Prime Leads reviews public source signals in a customer's footprint, filters for credible recompete timing, and sends a Monday memo with five to ten entries, confidence labels, source context, and one next move.

Does Prime Leads replace a capture analyst?

Prime Leads does not replace a capture analyst. A capture analyst brings strategy, teaming judgment, and bid advice; Prime Leads supplies a weekly source feed and first-pass recompete read the analyst or BD owner can act on.

RECOMPETE GUIDES

Which Prime Leads guide answers each recompete question?

Prime Leads publishes field guides for the federal contract searches small capture teams use before buying a recompete monitoring tool. The guides explain federal contract recompete monitoring, NAICS contract monitoring, Sources Sought signals, USAspending end-date analysis, and workflow comparisons with HigherGov and GovTribe.

Buyer question	Recommended guide	Decision supported
How do I monitor federal contract recompetes?	Federal contract recompete monitoring	Start with cliff dates, option patterns, incumbent context, and public-source evidence.
How do I monitor expiring contracts by NAICS?	NAICS contract monitoring	Use NAICS as the first filter, then qualify agency, scope, incumbent, certification, and timing fit.
When does a Sources Sought notice matter?	Sources Sought monitoring	Treat the notice as corroboration only when it maps back to an active award and credible cliff.
Can USAspending end dates predict recompetes?	USAspending recompete analysis	Use end dates as evidence, then check modifications, options, obligations, and public notices.
Is Prime Leads a GovWin, HigherGov, or GovTribe alternative?	GovWin alternative	Compare broad search workflows with a narrow weekly recompete memo.

QUESTIONS

Questions you'd ask before paying.

WHERE DOES YOUR DATA COME FROM?

Prime Leads uses USAspending.gov API and bulk archives for award and modification history, SAM.gov Contract Opportunities API for Sources Sought, RFIs, and pre-solicitations, GAO Bid Protest decisions for cliff-corroboration, and selected agency forecasts such as DHS APFS, VA, GSA, and Navy LRAF where they are machine-readable. Public source pulls run every weeknight. Prime Leads does not scrape any source that prohibits it.

HOW IS CONFIDENCE ACTUALLY CALCULATED?

Prime Leads confidence is calculated with rule-based scoring across cliff strength, modification pattern, and procurement-in-motion signals. A HIGH label requires a strong cliff, clean option or modification pattern, and a live or closely matching public notice. MEDIUM means the timing is credible but one input is noisy or partial. LOW means something is moving, but timing or contract linkage is still incomplete. No machine learning and no black box.

HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM HIGHERGOV?

HigherGov is a broad government market intelligence search platform that includes recompete data. Prime Leads is narrower: a weekly Monday memo that reviews public source signals in a customer's approved footprint, assigns HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW confidence, and gives one recommended next action per recompete entry. The difference is whether you run the search workflow or receive the curated read.

WILL YOU BUILD CRM FEATURES OR OUTREACH AUTOMATION?

Prime Leads does not include CRM features, outreach automation, or capability-statement generation. Prime Leads stays focused on one workflow: a Monday recompete memo with public sources, confidence labels, and one recommended next action per entry. It is not a CRM, not a search platform, and not an outbound sales tool. Keeping that boundary is part of the product.

WHAT DOES A PILOT LOOK LIKE?

A Prime Leads pilot starts with the Solo plan and runs for 30 days. During the pilot, the Monday memo is built around your approved NAICS footprint, public sources, confidence labels, and one next action per entry. If by week four the memo has not caught at least one cliff your spreadsheet missed or your current tools did not surface, email the founder for a full refund.

CAN I SEE A REAL DIGEST BEFORE I SIGN UP?

Prime Leads lets buyers request a sample digest before signing up. The sample uses the same Monday memo structure as the paid product: sourced recompete entries, confidence labels, public-source context, and one next move per opportunity. The public sample digest shows five entries: three HIGH confidence, one MEDIUM, and one LOW. No credit card, no spam, no follow-up sequence.

WHERE IS THE DATA HOSTED?

Prime Leads data is hosted in AWS US-East. Cleo reports SOC 2 Type I as of Q3 FY26, with Type II in progress. The product uses public procurement records and customer-provided footprint details to prepare memo entries; it does not require users to connect a CRM, email inbox, or internal capture system.

WHO BUILT THIS?

Cleo Powered, Inc. builds Prime Leads, a weekly federal contract recompete monitoring product for small government contractors. Prime Leads is operated by a solo founder and one part-time engineer, with founder review built into paid memo delivery. The company is based in Washington, D.C., and Prime Leads is intentionally small and focused.
