Government contractor capability statement marketplace

A capability statement is a small business's one-page pitch to federal buyers. SamMatch turns those capabilities into a searchable marketplace: primes find SAM.gov-verified subcontractors by NAICS, certification, and capability, and small businesses get listed free.

What belongs in a capability statement

  • Core competencies mapped to the work you actually perform.
  • NAICS codes and socio-economic certifications (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB).
  • Differentiators and relevant past performance.
  • Company data: UEI, CAGE, and a point of contact.

How the marketplace works

SamMatch ingests public SAM.gov and SBA DSBS registrations, so a baseline profile exists for most small businesses from day one. Firms claim their listing to sharpen capabilities and control how they appear. Primes then search the pool by requirement and rank matches — see how matching works.

Why a marketplace beats a static PDF

A capability statement emailed once and forgotten is invisible when a prime is searching months later. A live, ACTIVE-filtered listing keeps you discoverable exactly when a prime is filling a subcontracting plan goal in your NAICS.

Frequently asked questions

Does it cost anything to be listed?

No. Subcontractor listings are free. Prime contractors pay for search, ranked matching, and outreach tools, which keeps the marketplace deep.

How do primes find my capability statement?

Primes search the pool by NAICS, certification, and capability keywords. Keeping your SAM.gov registration ACTIVE and your NAICS and certifications accurate is what surfaces you.
