SF330 Templates for AEC Proposal Teams
The SF330 is the standard federal form for A/E qualifications. Below are free templates for the two sections that take the most time to prepare — Section E (key personnel resumes) and Section F (project experience sheets) — plus a link to the official GSA form. For a full walkthrough of every section, see the complete SF330 guide.
Official SF330 Form (GSA)
The official fillable PDF published by the U.S. General Services Administration. Free to download. Useful as a reference for field names and section structure, but most firms find the PDF too restrictive for competitive submittals — limited formatting, no branding control, and poor page-break handling.

Section E — Key Personnel Resume
One-page resume layout matching the SF330 Section E format. Fields for name, role, firm, education, certifications, and relevant project experience. Designed to keep every team member's resume consistent across the submittal.
Download Section E TemplateDOCXSection F — Project Experience Sheet
One-page-per-project layout with the standard fields agencies evaluate: project name, location, owner, completion date, contract value, and scope description. Use one sheet per project cited in your submittal.
Download Section F TemplateDOCXGenerate SF330 Resumes with ChatGPT
Don't want to start from a blank template? We built a free ChatGPT app that generates SF330 Section E resumes from your staff data. Paste in a person's qualifications and project history, and it produces a formatted one-page resume matching the Section E structure — name, role, education, certifications, and relevant project experience.
Works best for one-off resumes or when you need a starting draft fast. For firms managing 20+ staff across multiple pursuits, see the full automation comparison below.

Word templates work for firms responding to a handful of solicitations per year. Once you're past 15-20 submittals annually with 20+ staff, the bottleneck shifts from formatting to data management — keeping resumes current, tailoring project descriptions per pursuit, and ensuring certifications haven't expired.
| Word Templates | Structured Data + Generation | |
|---|---|---|
| Resume updates | Edit each Word file individually | Update profile once, regenerate all versions |
| Tailoring per pursuit | Copy file, manually reorder and rewrite | Select relevant projects, generate tailored version |
| Formatting consistency | Depends on who last edited the file | Enforced by template engine |
| Certification tracking | Manual — check each resume before submittal | Centralized with expiration visibility |
| Time per submittal | 3-5 hours for Section E and F alone | Under 1 hour |

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the SF330 form free to download?
Yes. The official SF330 is published by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) and is free to download as a fillable PDF from the GSA Forms Library. There is no cost to obtain or submit the form.
Where do I download the official SF330 form?
The official SF330 fillable PDF is available from the GSA Forms Library at gsa.gov/forms-library/architect-engineer-qualifications. This is the authoritative source maintained by the federal government.
Can I use a Word template instead of the GSA fillable PDF?
Yes, and most competitive firms do. The GSA fillable PDF has limited formatting options, restricted fonts, and poor handling of page breaks. Word templates give you control over layout, branding, and typography — which matters when evaluators are comparing dozens of submittals side by side.
What is the difference between Section E and Section F of the SF330?
Section E contains resumes of key personnel proposed for the contract — one page per person, covering education, certifications, and relevant project experience. Section F contains project experience sheets — detailed descriptions of relevant projects the firm and proposed team have completed, including scope, cost, and client information.
What software can I use to fill out SF330 forms?
Most firms use Microsoft Word with custom templates for competitive submittals. For firms responding to multiple solicitations, proposal management tools like RFPM.ai automate Section E and F generation from structured staff and project data — eliminating manual reformatting for each pursuit.
How do I automate SF330 forms for AEC?
The most time-consuming parts of the SF330 — Section E resumes and Section F project experience sheets — can be automated using structured data tools. Instead of reformatting Word documents for every pursuit, store staff qualifications and project data in a central system and generate formatted outputs per solicitation. Free options include ChatGPT-based generators for one-off resumes. For firms managing multiple simultaneous pursuits, tools like RFPM.ai generate tailored resumes and project sheets automatically from structured profiles.
