CAPABILITY CARD · Healthcare

The Surgical Technologists capability card.

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

There are 117,460 surgical technologists 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 surgical technologists 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.

Duty 01
Maintain a proper sterile field during surgical procedures.
Duty 02
Count sponges, needles, and instruments before and after operation.
Duty 03
Scrub arms and hands and assist the surgical team to scrub and put on gloves, masks, and surgical clothing.
Duty 04
Provide technical assistance to surgeons, surgical nurses, or anesthesiologists.
Duty 05
Prepare patients for surgery, including positioning patients on the operating table and covering them with sterile surgical drapes to prevent exposure.
Duty 06
Hand instruments and supplies to surgeons and surgeons' assistants, hold retractors and cut sutures, and perform other tasks as directed by surgeon during operation.
Where you stand

A real market — compete on proof, not price.

Nationally, 117,460 surgical technologists earn a median of $64,650 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.

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 surgical technologists (★ = flagged hot technology). Your card shows the ones that fit your shop.

Your expertise, named

The knowledge that makes the work credible.

These are the expertise areas O*NET ranks highest for surgical technologists. On a capability card they read as depth — not buzzwords.

  • Customer and Personal Service
  • Medicine and Dentistry
  • English Language
  • Education and Training
  • Public Safety and Security

The government-contracting edge

Where the steady budgets actually are.

Federal agencies obligated $5.1B in Offices of Physicians (except Mental Health Specialists) 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.
