Your firm's pipeline has been building for months\.  A federal solicitation lands that fits your team's experience exactly\.  You pull up the SF330, start from Section A, fill every field in order, and assemble a document that hits every requirement on the page\.

You submit\.  You don't make the shortlist\.

BD teams working under RFP deadlines and lean proposal staff don't default to boilerplate out of laziness\.  They default to it because no better system exists yet\.  That's the fixable part\.

The SF330 \(Standard Form 330\) is the federal government's mandatory qualifications submission form for architecture and engineering firms competing for federal contracts\.  Under the Brooks Act \(Public Law 92\-582, 1972\), federal agencies are required to select A/E firms through qualifications\-based selection \(QBS\)— ranking firms on competence before price enters the conversation[1](#ref-1)\.  Price negotiation happens only after a firm is selected, not before[2](#ref-2)\.  Most BD teams know the form exists\.  What they miss is the gap between a compliant submission and a competitive one\.

As Kantiv, a federal contracting advisory, puts it: "Most SF\-330s are compliant\.  Very few are competitive\."[3](#ref-3)

Understanding which sections drive that gap— and what competitive looks like in each one— is the difference between a submission your team feels good about and one that earns Outstanding scores\.

The SF330 replaced the SF254 \(annual qualifications profile\) and SF255 \(contract\-specific qualifications\) in 2004[4](#ref-4)\.  The current revision is July 2021, governed by FAR 48 CFR 53\.236\-2\(b\)— the regulation that prescribes which form federal agencies must use when soliciting A/E qualifications[5](#ref-5)\.  Part I is contract\-specific, containing Sections A through I[6](#ref-6)\.  Part II is your firm's annual general qualifications, filed separately per office\.

```html-table
<table><thead><tr><th></th><th>Part I</th><th>Part II</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Purpose</strong></td><td>Contract-specific qualifications</td><td>Annual general qualifications</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Sections</strong></td><td>A through I (9 sections)</td><td>Single document per office</td></tr><tr><td><strong>When filed</strong></td><td>With each solicitation response</td><td>Annually at minimum</td></tr><tr><td><strong>What changes per submission</strong></td><td>Team composition, projects, org chart</td><td>Firm capabilities, office data, UEI</td></tr></tbody></table>
```

Federal evaluation panels use standardized rating language— Outstanding, Good, Acceptable, Marginal, or Unacceptable— when scoring each criterion[7](#ref-7)\.  The shortlist typically holds 3–6 firms\.  Getting there requires at least one or two Outstanding ratings, not an all\-Acceptable sweep[8](#ref-8)\.

The SF330 is not a form\-filling exercise\.  Firms that get shortlisted treat it as a structured argument that their team has done work like this before— together, with measurable results\.  Every section either builds or undermines that argument\.  That strategic thinking, not form mechanics, is the actual competitive advantage\.

## Build Section G First— The Matrix That Ties Everything Together

Section G is a matrix that connects each proposed team member to the projects listed in Section F\.  Most firms build it last, as a summary of what they've already written\.  That's backward\.  Build Section G first\.

As OpenAsset describes it: "Section G is a matrix that ties the entire document together\."[9](#ref-9)  When you build it last, it's a paperwork step\.  When you build it first, it's a planning tool— it forces you to decide simultaneously which people and which projects tell the strongest combined story[10](#ref-10)\.

The practical step: open a spreadsheet before drafting any prose\.  List your candidate key personnel across the top\.  List your candidate projects down the left column\.  Add an X where someone actually worked\.

**Section G: Honest vs.  Inflated Matrix** Two side-by-side Section G participation matrices.  The honest matrix shows realistic depth with each person connected to 2-3 projects.  The inflated matrix shows a single PM marked on all projects— a pattern evaluators recognize and discount.

What you're looking for in the finished grid: each person connected to the projects they genuinely worked on, not every project in the submission\.  Kantiv's analysis is direct on this— connecting a proposed PM to all 10 projects signals inflation, and evaluators distrust omnipresence[11](#ref-11)\.  An honest Section G shows a PM leading six to eight projects with verified involvement, not ten with fabricated marks\.  "Depth outscores breadth\.  Every time\."

Every person in Section E needs at least one X in Section G, and every project in Section F must connect to at least one person[12](#ref-12)\.  If the grid doesn't hold up, your team and project selections need work before prose does\.

## Section E— Writing Resumes That Score Outstanding

Section E contains the key personnel resumes\.  Each resume is capped at one page[13](#ref-13)\.  Each person lists up to five relevant projects\.  Evaluators spend more time scoring Section E than any other single section— it, Section F, and Section G together determine shortlist placement[14](#ref-14)\.

The evaluator's first read of Section E is a scan for role\-specific credentials— not a linear biography\.  Most BD professionals know what their team has done\.  The gap is in how that experience gets positioned for the specific solicitation\.

**What evaluators check in the first 30 seconds of a Section E resume:**

- Does the opening sentence establish role\-specific credentials for this contract?
- Does the proposed role title match the solicitation's stated key roles exactly?
- Do the five listed projects overlap with the firm's Section F examples?
- Is this a tailored resume or a lightly edited copy from a previous submission?

That last point matters more than most firms realize\.  Boilerplate resumes— lightly edited versions from prior submittals— are the single most common disqualifying mistake\.  Four independent sources identify it[15](#ref-15)\.  Evaluators recognize them\.

The opening line test: does the first sentence of the resume establish role\-specific credentials for this specific contract?  "Licensed structural engineer with 18 years of federal healthcare facility experience" clears the bar for a healthcare facility solicitation\.  "Licensed engineer with 18 years of broad experience" does not[16](#ref-16)\.  As Kantiv advises: "Lead with role\-specific experience, not chronology\."[17](#ref-17)

Tailoring mechanics: adjust the opening credentials statement for each submission, reorder the five projects to match the RFP's stated priority criteria, and confirm the proposed role title is copied exactly from the solicitation language\.

## Section F— Selecting and Describing Projects That Win

Section F allows up to ten example projects demonstrating your firm's qualifications[18](#ref-18)\.  Your solicitation may specify a different number— always follow it\.  If no limit is specified, resist the urge to fill all ten slots\.  Eight precisely targeted projects will outscore ten generic ones[19](#ref-19)\.

**Project selection criteria \(in priority order\):**

1. **Relevance**— Does this project match the solicitation's scope, delivery method, client type, and scale?
2. **Recency**— Was the work completed within the last five to seven years?  Older work is acceptable if no better alternatives exist, but newer is preferred[21](#ref-21)
3. **Your firm's role**— Was the submitting firm the prime on this project?  Subconsultant work is worth including, but limit it to one or two of your selected projects
4. **Outcome quality**— Can you document schedule performance, budget adherence, or specific measurable results?

```html-table
<table><thead><tr><th>Selection Criterion</th><th>Strong</th><th>Weak</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Scope relevance</td><td>Matches RFP's stated project type and client</td><td>General similarity only</td></tr><tr><td>Recency</td><td>Completed within 5–7 years</td><td>Older than 10 years</td></tr><tr><td>Your firm's role</td><td>Prime firm, led delivery</td><td>Subconsultant, limited visibility</td></tr><tr><td>Outcome documented</td><td>Specific metrics available</td><td>"Successfully completed"</td></tr></tbody></table>
```

The critical error in Section F is describing the project instead of your firm's performance on it\.  As Kantiv states directly: "Critical error: Describing the project rather than your firm's performance on it\."[22](#ref-22)

The four\-component framework for each project description[20](#ref-20):

1. **Scope**— What the project was: scale, delivery method, client type, comparability to this solicitation
2. **Challenge**— What made it difficult or relevant to the current contract's requirements
3. **Contribution**— What your firm specifically did— not what the project involved generally
4. **Outcome**— Measurable results: schedule adherence, budget performance, specific metrics, awards

Keep the subject of every sentence on your firm\.  "Our team designed and delivered X" scores\.  "The project involved X" does not\.

Every Section F story you can tell is built on the records you already have\.  Firms that shortlist consistently maintain project documentation as a standing practice, not a submission sprint\.  That infrastructure question— what records you need, how they're structured, who maintains them— is the same one that surfaces when firms examine [the hidden costs of AI projects](/blog/hidden-costs-ai-projects): it's rarely about the tool and almost always about the data underneath\.  Process first, then acceleration\.

## Sections A–D and Part II— The Compliance Foundation

Sections A through D and Part II will not win you a shortlist\.  They can lose it before an evaluator reads a single resume\.  Every error here— wrong solicitation number, lapsed SAM\.gov registration, DUNS number instead of UEI— disqualifies before scoring begins\.  Treat these as the floor\.  The ceiling is in Sections E, F, G, and H\.

**Compliance checklist for Sections A–D:**

- **Section A:** Solicitation/contract number, project title, agency— copied exactly from the RFP; leave nothing blank
- **Section B:** Architect\-engineer point of contact and primary firm identification
- **Section C:** Proposed team structure— prime firm and subconsultants with their specific roles; large contracts with 20–30 subconsultants require careful personnel\-skill matching
- **Section D:** Organizational chart of the proposed team— evaluators use this to understand decision authority; clarity and hierarchy matter

The critical compliance item is SAM\.gov registration\.  Active registration with a current Unique Entity Identifier \(UEI\) is required before submitting any SF330[24](#ref-24)\.  As of April 4, 2022, the federal government replaced the DUNS number with the UEI— a 12\-character alphanumeric identifier assigned by SAM\.gov\.  Submitting a DUNS number now will disqualify you\.

**Part II— Annual general qualifications:** Filed per office providing staff, Part II should be refreshed annually at minimum[23](#ref-23)\.  Part II is the iceberg beneath your submission— the evaluation panel scores only what breaks the surface in Part I, but Part I is only as strong as the records underneath\.  Keep discipline headcounts current, office locations accurate, and the project history relevant to federal work\.

One rule that supersedes all standard form defaults: when the solicitation and the standard form conflict, follow the solicitation[25](#ref-25)\.  Different page limits, different project counts, different required sections— the RFP controls\.

## Section H— The Scoring Opportunity Most Firms Concede

Section H is Additional Information— a free\-form section with no standard instructions\.  Most firms write it once and reuse it forever: quality management programs, safety records, equal opportunity language\.  It's a missed opportunity hiding in plain sight\.  Federal evaluators use it differently\.

> **If your solicitation weights past performance at 25% and your Section H has one paragraph on quality management, you've conceded that criterion before the panel convenes\.**

That's GovSignals\.ai's framing[26](#ref-26), and it's precise\.  When a solicitation explicitly weights a criterion— past performance 25%, small business participation 15%— Section H is where you provide the evidence for criteria not fully addressed in Sections E, F, and G\.

**What belongs in Section H:**

- Tables and callouts matching the solicitation's specific evaluation criteria weights
- Awards and certifications relevant to the stated requirements
- Client references and past performance documentation matched to the agency's stated priorities
- A concise "why us" summary that ties Sections E, F, G, and H into a single competitive argument

Build Section H as a direct response document\.  Read the solicitation's evaluation criteria list first\.  Write each subsection keyed to a specific weighted criterion\.  The page limit varies by solicitation \(some cap at two pages\); always check the RFP before writing\.

Typical evaluation criteria weights Kantiv has observed across federal A/E solicitations: professional qualifications 20–30%, specialized experience and technical competence 25–35%, capacity 15–25%, past performance 15–25%, location and other factors 10–15%[27](#ref-27)\.  These vary by solicitation— treat them as typical ranges, not absolutes\.

## Before You Submit— Common Disqualifying Mistakes

Federal evaluators process a volume of SF330 submissions where compliant is the floor, not the goal\.  Several errors disqualify before scoring begins\.  Others guarantee an Acceptable rating when Outstanding is required to shortlist\.  Run this checklist before submitting\.

1. ❌ **Boilerplate resumes**— Lightly edited versions of prior submittals; evaluators recognize them and discount the entire submission[15](#ref-15)
2. ❌ **Omnipresence in Section G**— A PM connected to all ten projects signals fabrication, not depth; evaluators distrust it[11](#ref-11)
3. ❌ **Describing projects instead of firm performance**— Section F tells the story of your firm's work, not the project's story[22](#ref-22)
4. ❌ **SAM\.gov registration lapsed or DUNS still used**— Either disqualifies before scoring; UEI required since April 4, 2022[24](#ref-24)
5. ❌ **Ignoring solicitation instructions**— The RFP controls over standard form defaults; different page limits, project counts, and section requirements apply[25](#ref-25)
6. ❌ **"Bait and switch" staffing**— Proposing senior personnel for the submission and planning to deliver junior staff violates most contracts; only genuinely key personnel should appear in Section E[28](#ref-28)
7. ❌ **Outdated form edition**— Always verify the footer; current revision is July 2021[5](#ref-5)
8. ✅ **Final cross\-check**— Every person in Section E has at least one X in Section G; every project in Section F is connected to personnel in Section E[12](#ref-12)

The difference between compliant and competitive comes down to one question: does every section of this form argue, with specific evidence, that your team has done work like this before— together, with results an evaluator can point to?  If the answer is yes, the checklist takes care of itself\.  If no, start with Section G\.

That last item is the structural integrity test of the entire submission\.  Run it every time\.

## How AI Accelerates SF330 Assembly \(and Where It Can't Help\)

The underlying problem with most SF330 submissions isn't production speed— it's data readiness\.  AI tools, including purpose\-built platforms like Deltek Vantagepoint and Flowcase, can reduce assembly time significantly\.  But they solve a production problem, not the underlying strategic one\.

Here's the distinction: the SF330 functions as a data\-readiness test[29](#ref-29)\.  If your firm's project records are incomplete, your resume templates aren't tailored, and your Section G has no actual collaboration history to reflect— AI makes producing a weak submission faster\.  It doesn't make it competitive\.

```html-table
<table><thead><tr><th>AI can accelerate</th><th>AI can't fix</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Resume formatting from raw data</td><td>Gaps in your project history library</td></tr><tr><td>Project description drafting from records</td><td>Resumes never tailored to any specific RFP</td></tr><tr><td>Section G matrix population</td><td>A Section G with no real collaboration history</td></tr><tr><td>Part II annual data compilation</td><td>Outdated UEI or lapsed SAM.gov registration</td></tr></tbody></table>
```

The firms that consistently make shortlists don't just submit better forms— they maintain better data\.  Centralized, current personnel and project records enable fast, accurate assembly when an RFP drops\.  Building that system is a long\-term investment, not a pre\-RFP sprint\.

If you're thinking about [building AI\-powered workflows for your BD practice](/blog/ai-automation-guide), the data infrastructure question comes first\.  An [AI governance strategy](/blog/ai-governance-strategy) for your BD operations ensures the records feeding your SF330 assembly are structured consistently across submissions\.  Process first, then automation— the same logic holds whether you're prompting a language model or filling a matrix\.

If mapping the right tools and workflows to your BD infrastructure feels like a research project on its own, that's exactly the kind of problem a [federal BD capability](/for-founders) strategy session can clarify\.

## FAQ

### What is the SF330 form?

The SF330 \(Standard Form 330\) is the federal government's mandatory qualifications submission form for architecture and engineering firms competing under the Brooks Act's qualifications\-based selection \(QBS\) process\.  Firms are ranked on competence before price is discussed\.  The current revision is July 2021\.  It replaced the SF254 and SF255 forms in 2004[4](#ref-4)[5](#ref-5)\.

### How many sections does the SF330 have?

Part I is contract\-specific and contains nine sections— A through I\.  Part II is a separate annual general qualifications document, filed per office providing staff[6](#ref-6)\.  Sections E \(key personnel resumes\), F \(example projects\), and G \(the participation matrix\) are where shortlist placement is determined\.  Sections A through D and Part II establish compliance\.

### Do I need SAM\.gov to submit an SF330?

Yes— active SAM\.gov registration with a current Unique Entity Identifier \(UEI\) is required before submitting any SF330\.  The UEI is a 12\-character alphanumeric ID assigned by SAM\.gov\.  As of April 4, 2022, the DUNS number is no longer accepted in its place[24](#ref-24)\.  Failure to have a current UEI disqualifies before scoring begins\.

### How many projects go in Section F?

The form defaults to ten example projects, unless the solicitation specifies otherwise[18](#ref-18)\.  When the solicitation doesn't set a limit, resist filling all ten slots with marginal examples\.  Eight precisely targeted, relevant projects will outscore ten generic ones[19](#ref-19)\.  Select for relevance first, then recency, then the strength of your firm's documented role and outcome\.

### How long are Section E resumes?

One page per person, unless the solicitation specifies otherwise[13](#ref-13)\.  Each person lists five relevant projects\.  The opening sentence should establish role\-specific credentials for this contract— not career chronology\.  Every resume should be tailored to the specific solicitation, not repurposed from a prior submission[16](#ref-16)\.

### What sections do evaluators score most heavily?

Section E \(key personnel resumes\), Section F \(example projects\), and Section G \(the participation matrix\) determine shortlist placement[14](#ref-14)\.  Sections A through D and Part II establish compliance— they determine whether your submission is accepted for scoring, not how well it scores\.  Section H can swing a weighted evaluation criterion if the solicitation explicitly assigns it a scoring weight\.

### How does the federal shortlist work?

The evaluation panel scores submissions using standardized language— Outstanding, Good, Acceptable, Marginal, or Unacceptable— across the stated evaluation criteria[7](#ref-7)\.  The top 3–6 firms make the shortlist\.  Getting shortlisted typically requires at least one or two Outstanding scores, not an all\-Acceptable sweep[8](#ref-8)\.  The most qualified firm then enters price negotiation under QBS— competitive pricing at the selection stage is prohibited by the Brooks Act[2](#ref-2)\.

## The Case Your BD Team Is Already Qualified to Make

Getting shortlisted on an SF330 requires a document that argues, credibly and specifically, that your team has done work like this before— together, with results an evaluator can point to\.  Form mechanics get you in the door\.  Strategic construction gets you on the shortlist\.

The strategic sequence matters: build Section G first to anchor team and project decisions before writing a word of prose\.  Then write Section E with the evaluator's scan in mind\.  Build Section F to demonstrate your firm's performance, not the project's story\.  Treat Section H as a scored section that directly responds to the solicitation's criteria\.  Keep Part II current as the data foundation everything else depends on\.

Your BD team started this process knowing their people and their work\.  The SF330 is where you make that case to someone who doesn't know you yet\.

If you're building out your firm's [federal BD capability](/for-founders)— including the AI\-assisted workflows that make consistent, competitive submissions possible— [Dan Cumberland Labs](/services) works with professional services firms on exactly this kind of infrastructure\.  Not just the form\.  The system behind it\.
