Indefinite Delivery Contract N0017819D7932

Joint Research and Development LLC, doing business as Jrad, was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract under the Seaport Next Generation (Seaport-NXG) program by the Naval Sea Systems Command on January 2, 2019. The contract has a ceiling value of $500 and extends through January 1, 2029, with no small business set-aside designation. Jrad was selected to provide engineering, technical, and programmatic support services to the Department of the Navy across one of twenty-three defined functional areas. The awarded task order, designated as a Seaport NXG Minimum Obligation Task Order, carries a ceiling value of $0.00 and is structured as a Firm Fixed Price delivery order with a place of performance in Stafford, Virginia.

The Seaport Next Generation solicitation sought multiple prime contractors capable of delivering professional, scientific, and technical services under North American Industry Classification System code 541330 to support Navy operations across seven geographic zones. The program was designed to consolidate over 3,000 legacy SeaPort-e prime contractors into a streamlined vehicle with a five-year base ordering period and five-year option period. Jrad's selection reflects its demonstrated capability in technical support and program management, leveraging its established portfolio of Department of Defense contracts and expertise in complex professional services delivery. The minimal ceiling values on both the IDV and associated task order suggest this award may represent a placeholder contract mechanism or baseline obligation fulfillment rather than an active procurement vehicle for substantial work.
