Capabilities Statements
A capabilities statement is usually a one or two-page document businesses use to advertise their products and services to government agencies.
The information they provide includes:
- Legal business name and DBA (if applicable)
- CAGE code
- UEI number
- About us section
- Core competencies
- Differentiators
- Point of contact
- Past performance
- Corporate data
Much like a resume, a capabilities statement is a living document tailored to a specific opportunity. A well-formatted capabilities statement helps contracting officers understand what your business can do for them and shows that you're knowledgeable in government procurement.
Online Capabilities Statements
Online capabilities statements fulfill the same purpose as printed capabilities statements. However, the main difference is that an online capabilities statement will give a more comprehensive picture of your business, as constantly changing the content on one would be laborious.
Online capabilities statements are linked to a business's Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) profile. The DSBS is a search portal for contracting officers and prime contractors to find vendors to help them reach their small business spending goals.
The Simplified Acquisition Program
Online capabilities statements are available through USFCR's Simplified Acquisition Program (SAP). The SAP is the one-stop solution for businesses seeking government contracting. In short, it provides vendors with compliance for government contracts, marketing materials, and learning resources to help them succeed.
Components of the SAP include:
- Registration Assistance with the System for Award Management (SAM)
- Optimized profile in the Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS)
- Custom email domain
- Access to the Advanced Procurement Portal (APP)
- Access to the USFCR Academy
- Online capabilities statement
Equipped with these resources while working hard, many businesses have succeeded in federal contracting. Here are just a few of them:
- Ariel's River Contracting Group, LLC
- Veteran's Choice Procurement, LLC
- Todd Marchant Construction Co. dba RockNErosion
- Metropolitan Logistics, LLC
