DescriptionCompany Overview
The Company is a leading provider of full-body contraband-detection systems and related security-screening solutions to U.S. government agencies.

Buy-and-Build Opportunity
The Company can anchor a much larger security-screening infrastructure platform serving environments where people, packages or cargo pass through controlled entry points.
- Expand beyond correctional facilities into courthouses, airports, logistics hubs, ports, government buildings, hospitals and public venues.
- Acquire regional businesses that install, inspect and maintain personnel scanners, baggage and parcel X-ray systems, metal detectors, cargo-screening systems and related technologies.
- Add recurring, contract-based revenue from maintenance, inspection, certification and operator training.
- Build a national network of trained field technicians capable of servicing equipment from multiple manufacturers.
- Gain proprietary visibility into thousands of aging machines approaching upgrade or replacement.
- Cross-sell software, training and complementary screening products across the acquired customer base.
- Convert competitor equipment serviced by the platform into future replacement opportunities.
- Centralize dispatch, purchasing, inventory and contract administration to improve margins.
- Offer customers a single lifecycle solution covering installation, maintenance, compliance, software, upgrades and replacement.
Path to $10–20MM+ of EBITDA
The Company has a credible path to approximately $10MM of EBITDA through continued equipment growth, greater service and software penetration, adjacent-product cross-selling and two to four service-oriented acquisitions.
A broader consolidation strategy across parcel, baggage, cargo and personnel-screening services could combine $8–10MM of organic EBITDA with $7–10MM of acquired EBITDA and synergies, creating a national platform with $15–20MM+ of adjusted EBITDA and a materially higher recurring-revenue mix.
The thesis is straightforward: acquire the trusted equipment anchor, consolidate the technicians and service contracts surrounding the installed market, and build the national lifecycle-services platform for security-screening infrastructure.
