How to use this capability statement template in Google Docs

  1. 01

    Copy the template to your Google Drive

    Press "Copy to my Google Docs". Google asks to make a copy, and the copy is yours to edit; the original is never changed. All you need is a free Google account.

  2. 02

    Replace the placeholders with your details

    Text in double braces, like {{company.name}}, marks where your own values go. Work down the page: header with company name, logo and contact block; core competencies, tailored to the agency; differentiators, and so on.

  3. 03

    Make it match your brand

    Swap the logo, colours and fonts in Google Docs as you would in any document. The layout is built to hold when the text changes.

  4. 04

    Download it as a PDF, or share the link

    File, then Download, then PDF Document gives you a file to send or print. Download as Word (.docx) works too if someone needs it.

  5. 05

    Making these regularly? Fill it from your data

    Connect Airtable, Google Sheets or a CSV to SourceToDocs and it fills a copy of this template for every row, so you stop retyping.

A capability statement is the one-page leave-behind a contracting officer expects: what you do, what makes you different, what you have delivered before, and the identifiers that let someone find and award you — UEI, CAGE code, NAICS and PSC codes, set-aside certifications and your SAM registration status. It is a Google Doc because the content is dense text and short tables rather than a designed graphic, and because you will produce a lot of versions of it.

One record, many tailored versions

The mistake is treating the statement as a file to edit. Every time you approach a new agency you retouch the competencies, reorder past performance and hope nobody left an expired certification in. Hold it all as data instead — one company record, competencies and past contracts as rows tagged by agency and NAICS code — and each version becomes a filtered run. Codes and certifications are then correct everywhere at once, and the only judgement left is which five competencies lead for this buyer.

Fill this capability statement template from Airtable, Google Sheets or a CSV

Connect an Airtable base, a Google Sheets spreadsheet or a CSV file, map each field to a placeholder, and generate. One run can produce a single document or one per matching row, delivered to your Google Drive.

Common questions, answered

Can I use my own capability statement design? +
Yes. Build the page in Google Docs with your header, column layout and contact block, mark the competencies, codes and past performance as repeating placeholders, and generate against that. Contracting officers see hundreds of these, so a consistent layout you control is worth more than any template we could supply.
How do I keep it to one page? +
By capping the loops. Competencies, differentiators and past performance are all repeating blocks, so decide how many entries get placed — usually five or six competencies and three contracts — and order them in your data by relevance. A Google Doc will happily run to a second page if you let it, and for this document you should not.
Can I tailor a statement per agency or NAICS code? +
Yes, and this is the point of generating rather than editing. Tag each competency and past contract with the agencies or codes it is relevant to, then filter per row of your opportunity list. One run produces a statement per agency, each leading with the work that agency actually buys.
Where do the UEI, CAGE code and past performance come from? +
From your own records — Airtable, Google Sheets or a CSV upload. The template places what you hold; it does not look anything up in SAM.gov for you. Keeping those fields in one record is what stops an old CAGE code or a lapsed certification surviving in a statement someone still has.
Is this capability statement template free? +
Yes. Copy it to your own Google Drive at no cost and with no sign-up, then edit it like any Google Docs file. You only need SourceToDocs if you want it filled from your data automatically, and that has a free plan too.
Can I download this capability statement template as a PDF or Word file? +
Yes. Open your copy in Google Docs and choose File, Download. PDF Document gives a print-ready file; Microsoft Word (.docx) gives an editable one for people who do not use Google Docs.
