Capability statement builder your federal one-pager
Fill in your competencies, differentiators, past performance and company data — and get a clean, one-page capability statement you can print or save as PDF. The first thing a contracting officer asks for.

One per line — agency, scope, value.
Company name
A capability statement is your one-page federal marketing sheet. This builder formats what you enter — it doesn’t verify it. Use your real UEI, CAGE and NAICS, and only list certifications you actually hold and past performance you can substantiate. “Print / PDF” uses your browser’s print dialog (choose “Save as PDF”).
Why every federal contractor needs one
The capability statement is the calling card of government contracting. When you introduce yourself to a contracting officer, a small-business specialist or a prime looking for a teaming partner, this one page is what they ask for. A clear, tailored statement — competencies that match what they buy, concrete differentiators, and proof you’ve delivered — opens doors that a generic company brochure never will.
Keep it to a single page, lead with what’s relevant to the reader, and make your company data (UEI, CAGE, NAICS, certifications) easy to find. Update it for each target customer rather than sending the same sheet to everyone.
Pair it with the rest of your federal foundation
Make sure the data on your statement is right: confirm your NAICS codes, your small-business size status, and which set-asides you can claim. Then GovCon helps you turn introductions into pursuits — matching you to live opportunities and drafting the proposals that win them.
Frequently asked questions
What is a capability statement?+
A capability statement is a one-page marketing document federal contractors use to introduce their business to contracting officers and prime contractors. It summarizes your core competencies, what makes you different, relevant past performance, and key company data (UEI, CAGE code, NAICS codes and certifications) with your contact details.
What should a capability statement include?+
The essentials are: your company name and a one-line summary; core competencies (what you do); differentiators (why you, not a competitor); past performance (proof you’ve delivered); and company data — UEI, CAGE code, NAICS codes, socioeconomic certifications, and a named point of contact. Keep it to a single, scannable page.
How is the PDF created?+
The builder formats a live preview as you type. "Print / PDF" opens your browser’s print dialog — choose "Save as PDF" as the destination to download it, or print it directly. Nothing is uploaded; everything stays in your browser.
How do I make my capability statement stand out?+
Tailor it to the customer. Lead with competencies and past performance that match what that agency buys, make your differentiators concrete (numbers, clearances, certifications), and put your most relevant set-aside status front and center. A generic one-pager gets skimmed; a targeted one gets remembered.
Is the information I enter saved or sent anywhere?+
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser — what you type is used only to render the preview and is not transmitted or stored on our servers. Use your real, substantiable company data.
