CAPABILITY CARD · Engineering & Architecture

The Marine Engineers and Naval Architects capability card.

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

There are 8,250 marine engineers and naval architects 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 marine engineers and naval architects 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.

Conduct analyses of ships, such as stability, structural, weight, and vibration analyses.
Duty 04
Study design proposals and specifications to establish basic characteristics of craft, such as size, weight, speed, propulsion, displacement, and draft.

Where you stand

A real market — compete on proof, not price.

Nationally, 8,250 marine engineers and naval architects earn a median of $112,230 a year (BLS OEWS, May 2024). In a market that size, the businesses that win the better work don't lead with the lowest number — they lead with a credible, current capability card. That's exactly what we build.

The government-contracting edge

Where the steady budgets actually are.

Federal agencies obligated $52.5B in Engineering 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.
