SUMMARY:Contracting:  Preparing a Powerful Capabilities Statement
DESCRIPTION:Capabilities Statements are becoming a critical tool for competing in and remaining successful at the very competitive government contracting marketplace.\nThis tool allows vendors to provide company information that is most critical to a particular decision-maker; to state it in a clear\, concise manner; and to reinforce company qualifications for a particular project. \nCapabilities Statements are now required in many government registration processes as a means of providing proof of  “capacity and capability” as well as the ability to be a “responsible and responsive” bidder.  A strong Statement is also a way of opening the door for new opportunities! \nThis intermediate level contracting class will: \n\nprovide you with a template for use in creating your company’s Statement\nwalk you through how and what to include\nprovide examples of a strong statement.\n\nREGISTER\nOnce registered\, you will receive a confirmation email from centeric@clients.virginiasbdc.org\, our automated system.
