Free capability statement builder
Build a government-ready capability statement in minutes and download it as a PDF — three templates, your logo and brand colors, no signup. A capability statement is the one-page document federal buyers ask for first, and it needs six things: core competencies, past performance, differentiators, certifications, company data (UEI, CAGE code, NAICS codes), and contact details. This builder covers all six and keeps it to one page. Everything stays in your browser.
What is a capability statement?
A capability statement is a one-page marketing document that tells a federal buyer who you are and what you can deliver. Contracting officers and small business specialists routinely ask for one, and it is the standard attachment when you introduce your company to an agency.
What goes in a capability statement?
Six sections: core competencies, past performance, differentiators, certifications and socio-economic status, company data (UEI, CAGE code, NAICS codes, business size), and contact information. Keep it to one page — buyers scan it, they don't read it.
How long should a capability statement be?
One page is the convention and the expectation. Two pages is acceptable for established contractors with substantial past performance, but for a new entrant one page signals you understand how federal buyers work.
Do I need a UEI and CAGE code to have a capability statement?
You can write one without them, but leaving them blank signals you aren't registered and ready for award. Both come from SAM.gov registration, which is free — your UEI is the 12-character identifier that replaced DUNS on April 4, 2022, and domestic entities get a CAGE code automatically.
Should I still include a DUNS number?
No. DUNS was retired for federal awards on April 4, 2022 and replaced by the UEI. Including it dates your document and suggests your registration information hasn't been reviewed since then.
Is my company information stored?
No. The builder runs entirely in your browser and generates the PDF locally — nothing is uploaded or saved to a server, and no account is required.
