The Department of the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) awarded an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, known as the SeaPort Next Generation (SeaPort-NXG) contract, to Marine Acoustics Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation. The contract provides engineering, technical, and programmatic support services to the Department of the Navy. The contract has a five-year base ordering period with an optional five-year extension, and was awarded without discussions based on initial proposals. The contract ceiling value is $500, and the ultimate completion date is January 1, 2029. Task orders under this contract support the Navy's Ocean Battlespace Sensing Department, with a current $19,568,987 cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order to provide research and development related to underwater sensing, marine acoustics, and naval technologies. The work will be performed in Woburn, Massachusetts.
The original solicitation for the SeaPort-NXG IDIQ contract was issued by NAVSEA and did not include any set-aside designations. It sought offerors with experience in one of twenty-three functional areas directly supporting the Navy within the past five years. The small business size standard for this procurement is average annual revenue of $38.5 million. The incumbent SeaPort-e contracts involved over 3,000 prime contractors, and the new SeaPort-NXG contracts will continue to provide a vehicle for the Navy to procure a wide range of engineering, technical, and professional services.
