Capabilities statement outline
The sections a government capabilities statement usually has, with a fill-in table for your company data.
A capabilities statement is usually one page (two at most).
1. Header
- Company name and logo
- Contact name, title, phone, and email
- Website
2. Core competencies
- Three to six short lines on what you supply or make (for example, the part families or Federal Supply Classes you quote most)
- Use the same terms buyers use in solicitations
3. Past performance
- Two to four contracts or orders: customer, what you delivered, quantity or value, and year
- Only list work you can reference; use contract numbers where you are allowed to
4. Differentiators
- Two to four reasons to choose you: for example, lead times, stock on hand, in-house packaging and marking, or manufacturer relationships
- Be specific and verifiable
5. Company data
