Capability Statements

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
  

If you don't have a capabilities statement or need to refresh your own, I highly recommend reviewing Gloria Larkin's Refreshing Your Capability Statement.
