How to write a construction capability statement
Header. Logo, company name, UEI, CAGE, NAICS, and one-line tagline.
Core competencies. 4–6 bullets that match how a contracting officer searches SAM.gov.
Differentiators. Bonding, certifications, clearances, owned equipment — what your competitors cannot say.
Past performance. 3 recent projects with agency, value, period, and POC.
Company data. UEI, CAGE, DUNS legacy, NAICS, set-asides, GSA vehicles.
Contact. One named POC with direct phone and email — not info@.
