Fairwater Associates LLC, a veteran-owned small business, was awarded a multiple-award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract under the Seaport Next Generation (Seaport-NXG) vehicle by the Naval Sea Systems Command with a ceiling value of $10 billion and an ultimate completion date of January 1, 2029. The contract was awarded on January 2, 2019, without a set-aside designation. Under this Seaport-NXG master contract, Fairwater was issued a minimum obligation task order valued at $500,000 on a firm fixed-price basis to provide engineering, technical, and programmatic support services to the Department of the Navy. Performance of the task order is taking place in Norfolk, Virginia, with work extending through January 2029. The Seaport-NXG program itself represents a successor to the incumbent Seaport-e contracts, which involve over 3,000 prime contractors, and was established to consolidate and streamline Navy engineering and technical support procurement.
The underlying Seaport-NXG solicitation, posted on February 14, 2018, sought multiple award contract holders capable of delivering professional, scientific, and technical services across twenty-three functional areas in direct support of Navy operations and programs. Offerors were required to demonstrate relevant experience within the preceding five years, and awards were made without discussions based on initial proposals. The contract structure provided a five-year base ordering period with a five-year option period and established seven geographic zones aligned with Navy ordering office locations. The small business size standard for eligibility was set at average annual revenue of $38.5 million. While the specific functional area for Fairwater's minimum obligation task order is not detailed in available documentation, the contract vehicle is designed to furnish diverse engineering, technical, and management services supporting the Navy's major programs and operations.
