Capability statement is a must in government contracting world to help government contractors market their services to the government and present their capabilities to teaming partners. It helps present a professional face to the world when exhibiting at different events such as trade shows or conferences.

It is not a simple brochure, however. Many government contractors miss an opportunity to put the right kinds of information on their capability statement. They also use a static brochure that is often irrelevant to the audience, too broad, and out of date because it’s hard to modify.

Capability statements come in different forms that are appropriate for various venues. They must tell a compelling story about your company. And they must help you present the right image to prospective customers and teammates.

This course covers various types of capability statements and their most appropriate uses. It also shows you how to create and best tailor your capability statement to the government clients and teaming partners.

Good contractors know that maximizing contract award opportunities is the key to success. They also know that past performance is a critically important part of getting new work. It is not surprising, then, that contractors feel very strongly about the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), and the CPARS ratings they get in connection with contracts they have performed. At the same time, most contractors don’t have a thorough understanding of the big picture when it comes to CPARS – many don’t know what to do if they disagree with a CPARS rating. Do you know what to do if you get a CPARS rating that is inaccurate, unfair, or unjustified? In this webinar, experienced government contracting attorney Maria Panichelli will teach attendees about the basics of CPARS, as well as the rights and remedies contractors have in connection with the same. The webinar will also cover good faith and fair dealing issues, both in the CPARS context and other contexts.
