CAPABILITY CARD · Technology

The Database Administrators capability card.

One link that proves what you do — the work, the tools, the market, and the path to better contracts.

There are 69,990 database administrators in the U.S. The ones who win the work a buyer actually budgets for don't hand over a flat PDF — they send a living capability card. Built and maintained by our New Jersey team.

What your card proves

The work a buyer needs to see at a glance.

A client or contracting officer scanning ten database administrators wants fast proof you actually do the work. These are the core duties O*NET ties to your field — your capability card turns them into scannable proof points instead of a wall of text.

Plan, coordinate, and implement security measures to safeguard information in computer files against accidental or unauthorized damage, modification or disclosure.
Duty 03
Plan and install upgrades of database management system software to enhance database performance.
Duty 04

Duty 05
Test changes to database applications or systems.
Duty 06

Tools that signal you're current

The systems you actually run — on the record.

Listing the software and platforms you work with is a quiet credibility signal buyers notice. These are the hot and in-demand technologies O*NET associates with database administrators (★ = flagged hot technology). Your card shows the ones that fit your shop.

The government-contracting edge

Where the steady budgets actually are.

Federal agencies obligated $33.4B in Computer Systems Design Services contracts in FY2024 (USAspending.gov). When a contracting officer or prime sizes up a small business, a living capability card — cert status, NAICS coverage, SAM registration, core offerings, all current — is exactly what they expect to see. We build yours to land in that lane.
