Review Capabilities Narrative
For SeaPort-e prime contractors, the narrative
section of the capabilities profile should be
relatively easy to create from the information
contained in your technical proposal.
The Advance Search screens contain the same
items and categories used by the small business
to create the capabilities profile.
