  • This address should align with the information on file with your State’s registration authority and, if you are registered on Sam.gov, should match exactly with the address listed on your profile.

  • While industry codes can be frustrating, Haven provides the most expansive dataset ever, making it easier to find the right ones. Government Agencies rely heavily on these codes, so we must work with them for now. Enter all applicable codes that represent the industries, goods, or services your company provides. Add as many codes as possible, even beyond those on Agency registrations or one’s you’ve never used.

  • Start by adding codes from your capability statement. Use Haven’s search feature to filter by keyword (e.g., “Landscaping”) and select the relevant codes. Official lookup tools like naics.com can also be helpful if needed. Supported codes on the Haven platform include:

• Keywords: Microcircuit, Environmental Impact Studies, Lawncare, Janitorial Services, EV Charging, EV, Electric Vehicle

  • Add keywords that you would use when searching for contracting opportunities. These keywords can be broad (ie: “Landscaping”) or granular (ie: “Tree Pruning”), and they can even include industry code digits (ie: 70111700, 561730).

  • Keywords help Haven match you with relevant contracts and can be edited here in your profile settings or on the Find Opportunities page. Think of all the terms a government buyer might use to describe your services or products, even if they aren’t directly related. Adding a wide range of keywords increases your chances of capturing opportunities that align with your capabilities.

• Capability Statements: PDF Upload
