Setup a Capability Matrix

Evaluate potential teaming partners and increase your P-Win

OneTeam's Capability Matrix tab allows you to create a 'meatball chart' that can be sent out to your subcontractors to gain better insight on their capabilities and past performance. Their responses are automatically aggregated so that you can identify gaps and ensure that your team covers all specified requirements from your government solicitation.

Select Requirements

  1. Go to the Capability Matrix tab for your opportunity.
  2. Click the Add Requirement button in the tab toolbar.
  3. Add the reference for the Requirement. This may be the PWS number or a control number you assign to reference non-PWS requirements, such as OCONUS experience, Experience managing subcontractors, ISO-9001 certification, etc.06-07-23- Capability Matrix Requirements
  4. Click in the Requirement column or tab to it after entering the Reference number. A rich text box will appear with space for your requirement text. You may format the text as needed.
