What your card proves

The work a buyer needs to see at a glance.

A client or contracting officer scanning ten musical instrument repairers and tuners 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.

Where you stand

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.
