What your card proves

The work a buyer needs to see at a glance.

Assemble, install, repair, and maintain elevators, escalators, moving sidewalks, and dumbwaiters, using hand and power tools, and testing devices such as test lamps, ammeters, and voltmeters.
Duty 03
Disassemble defective units, and repair or replace parts such as locks, gears, cables, and electric wiring.
Duty 04
Check that safety regulations and building codes are met, and complete service reports verifying conformance to standards.

The government-contracting edge

Where the steady budgets actually are.

Federal agencies obligated $776M in Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment (except Automotive and Electronic) Repair and Maintenance 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.
