How to Use This Template
- 1. Download & Open: Download the template and open in Microsoft Word (or Google Docs by converting).
- 2. Replace Company Info: Update company overview, years in business, team size, certifications, and past performance.
- 3. Add Your Examples: Replace sample project descriptions with 3-5 of your actual past performance examples (contract value, outcome, complexity).
- 4. Customize for Agency: When bidding, tailor the differentiators and examples to match what each agency values most.
- 5. One Page Rule: Keep it to one page—this is a snapshot, not a detailed proposal. Use clear formatting and concise language.
- 6. Include in Bid: Submit capability statement with every federal bid. Also use for marketing and cold outreach to contracting officers.
💡 Pro Tip
Create 2-3 versions of your capability statement tailored to different federal agencies or contracting areas. A capability statement for DoD cybersecurity contracts should emphasize different strengths than a GSA facilities management bid.
