How to prepare the offer story
For service-oriented SINs, keep the service description, labor categories, pricing support, and past-performance examples aligned. A reviewer should be able to see what work is being sold, who performs it, and why the rate story is defensible.
If the SIN is being added through eMod, write down what changes operationally: new scope, new pricing, new files, catalog impact, and who owns maintenance after approval.
Buyer and SEO language to keep straight
Use the SIN number, title, category, and subcategory together: SIN 561210SB - Smart Building Systems Integration - Facilities - Facilities Solutions. That combination helps a buyer understand the lane quickly and helps the page avoid becoming a vague keyword page.
When writing capability language, explain the actual deliverables and evidence. Do not make the SIN carry the whole message by itself.

Start with the official title and description: Smart Building Systems Integration sits under Facilities > Facilities Solutions. Then compare your actual commercial offering to that scope, not only to the NAICS code.

- Match the pricing file to the offering type.
- Keep the support package reviewer-friendly.
Frequently asked questions
