Introduction
Small Business Electronic Capability Statement (SB e-CS) is an electronic tool that enables companies interested in doing business with Department of the Treasury to identify their capabilities for Treasury's acquisition personnel. Small businesses can also schedule counseling sessions with participating Treasury bureaus and Prime vendors. Treasury and the bureaus will be able to search for small businesses, view and print capability statements, review vendors business size and past capabilities, and generate reports.

To begin, please create a profile with the system:
