If you pursue opportunities with NGB, this 38-page statement is MUST READ. Have you ever heard the phrase "use the customer's language" when writing a proposal? This document will help you understand the NBG's current language.

This 38-page document communicates NGB's four key priorities:

• Provide trained and ready operational forces;
  
• Care for Guardsmen and Families: Enhancing accountability and become a fully effective steward of resources;
  
• Support and sustain the National Guard community, its members, their families and their employers; and
  
• Constantly analyze future threats and opportunities.

GSA announced that 123 small businesses have won the right to compete on its 10-year, $60 billion professional services contract, known as OASIS. The small business awards include 220 slots across six pools with some companies winning multiple pools.

GSA has not announced the awards for the large business portion of the OASIS program.

...as articulated by Kevin Spacey

As a small business, you may have been coached to prepare a one- or two-page capability statement for your company. Your company representative presents this document to government acquisition personnel in an effort to raise awareness about your company's business data, core capabilities, and past performance. At a minimum, it typically includes:

• Location: geographical locations where your company operates including point-of-contact, physical address, telephone, office fax, and email address
  
• Relevant codes: DUNS, CAGE, NAICS, NIGP, etc.
  
• Web address for easy access to additional information
  
• Facilities, tools, or technologies: include your partners, enterprise architecture, computers, or any other technology that can be leveraged to support your customer
  
• Financial data and firm size including:
  Revenue over last three years
  Number of employees over three years

Following are some examples of a standard 2-page capability statement:

• VISTA Technology Services, Inc.

• Ford Management Services

• SWP Systems
