Buyer cash flow before debt$612,000

Earnings Reconciliation

Seller-stated SDE of $710,000 falls to $612,000 after removing $58,000 of unsupported option-period earnings, $31,000 of replacement management and $9,000 of maintenance capex. Supported SDE is $652,000; buyer cash flow before debt is $612,000. The $58,000 is an earnings adjustment from the fictional contract margin schedule, not a dollar-for-dollar deduction of gross contract revenue.

Unsupported option-period earnings removed-$58,000
Replacement quality-manager compensation-$31,000
Deferred equipment-maintenance capex-$9,000

Conditions Before Closing

Reverify SAM.gov registration and exclusions immediately before closing.
Obtain required novation or consent for the DLA and Army task orders.
Hold back proceeds pending resolution of the unfunded option-period revenue.
Confirm key-person transition terms for the facility security officer role.

Federal award concentration

Corroborated Awards Do Not Match the Backlog Claimed by the Seller

USAspending records six awards matched to this UEI and corroborating address, totaling $4,850,000 across three agencies. The Defense Logistics Agency accounts for 64.3% of matched award value — a concentration the seller's backlog summary did not disclose.

Agency	Awards	Matched value	Period
Dept. of Defense — DLA	3 task orders	$3,120,000	Sep. 2023 – Mar. 2026
Dept. of Defense — Army	2 task orders	$1,340,000	Jan. 2024 – Dec. 2025
NASA	1 subcontract award	$390,000	Jun. 2025 – Jun. 2026

Award obligations are not recognized revenue. Contract performance status, option exercises and novation requirements still require seller documents and, where applicable, contracting-officer confirmation.

Contract Evidence and Earnings Bridge

Fictional reference GOV-DOC-01, option-margin schedule, forecasts $145,000 option-period revenue and $87,000 associated costs: $58,000 contribution. The option is not funded in GOV-DOC-02, contract modification log, so the $58,000 projected contribution is removed from seller earnings. $710,000 − $58,000 = $652,000 supported SDE. Less $31,000 incremental quality-manager compensation and $9,000 annual maintenance capex gives $612,000 buyer cash flow before debt.

Award table total: $3,120,000 + $1,340,000 + $390,000 = $4,850,000. DLA share: $3,120,000 ÷ $4,850,000 = 64.3%. DLA and Army together represent 92.0% of this illustrative table. Prime and subcontract records must retain their different reporting scope; award values across these periods are not annual revenue or proof of remaining backlog.

Decision: pause commitment until contract transfer, identity, funding and key-person dependencies are resolved. Request executed contracts, modifications, funded backlog, margin detail and counterparty consents. No purchase price or lender terms are supplied, so this sample cannot establish valuation multiples, acquisition debt coverage or affordability.

Fictional evidence cutoff: September 15, 2026. GOV-DOC-03 replacement-role budget and GOV-DOC-04 equipment reserve support the separate buyer deductions. Legal transfer requirements remain for qualified counsel and the relevant contracting authority to determine.

Report protocol

How Evidence Is Classified

The report keeps claims, calculations, contextual data, and official records separate. No missing search is silently converted into a clean result.

Seller claim

Information entered or extracted from the listing. It remains unverified until reconciled to documents.

Acquisition math

A reproducible calculation based on labeled inputs and assumptions, not an appraisal or lender decision.

Market context

Geographic or industry data used for comparison. It does not prove target-company performance.

Public-record evidence

An official-source result that still requires identity matching and legal or specialist interpretation where appropriate.

Unresolved

Missing, stale, conflicting, unavailable, or incomplete evidence that creates a buyer follow-up.

Required Fields on Every Evidence Entry

Publisher: The agency, seller, user, or document custodian responsible for the underlying information.
Source and URL: The named dataset, search system, or document with a link when one is available.
Retrieved / as-of: When the result was collected and the period represented by the underlying data.
Status: Matched, possible match, no match returned, manual review, unavailable, or not run.
Confidence: Support for attribution—not a probability that the business is safe or the finding is legally conclusive.
Limitation: What the source and result cannot establish.
Buyer action: The document request, official search, specialist review, or deal protection prompted by the evidence.
