Your response, if given shall include the following information: Size of company (i.e., 8(a), HUBZONE, WOSB, Veteran Owned, Small Disadvantaged Business, Service Disabled Veteran Owned, etc.), Capability Statement. Capability Statement Format A capability statement should be very brief and specifically related to the needs of the agency you are targeting. Preferably it is only one page, one side. Go to two sides only if absolutely necessary. Your Capability Statement should be a living document that will change depending on the targeted agency. Develop a master copy that can be tailored to a government sector, project or sources sought notice as needed. Save the document with your company's name in the file name. Distribute your Capability Statement as a PDF, not in Word, PowerPoint or other format. Many federal agencies block Word and Publisher documents; a PDF file is safer, usually smaller and will stay visually consistent when emailed. You have limited space, so be sure to stress your competencies, set-aside eligibility and past performance. The five key areas included in a successful effective capability statement are: Core Competencies - this should not be everything your business is able to do. Use bullet points and short statements of your expertise as it relates to your target agency's specific needs. Differentiators - list unique factors and benefits of your products or services that set you apart from the competition. How is your business best suited for the needs of the targeted agency? A clear statement that relates to the specific needs of the agency can help the customer understand why they should choose your firm. Past Performance - list past customers for whom you have done similar work, show benefit to the customer and provide contact reference. Pictures are worth a thousand words and save space if relevant. If past projects do not relate to the targeted agency's needs, do not list them. Company data - include one or two short sentences of your company description, including number of employees and capacity. Also list DUNS, CAGE Code, NAICS codes, and any set-aside eligibility that your business holds, such as Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), 8(a) Certification, HUBZone, or Small Disadvantaged Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). Contact information - show contact information, including website and specific person's name. Readers will visit your website for more information; make sure it is constantly updated and provide "hot link" for direct access. List a professional email. Government agencies many times block Hotmail, Yahoo and Gmail accounts as junk mail. Your internet provider will typically offer professional addresses with your subscription. Contract Vehicles in which you participate (Federal and State) (If Applicable) Please feel free to reach out ot me at any time at the below contact information. Very Respectfully, Jacob R. Saunders, 2d Lt USAF PKB Services Flight Specialist 55th Contracting Squadron (P) 402-232-6484 IF A SOLICITATION IS ISSUED IT WILL BE ANNOUNCED AT A LATER DATE, and all interested parties must respond to that solicitation announcement separately from the responses to this announcement.
