Indefinite Delivery Contract N0017819D8454

Sam, Inc. was awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract under the Naval Sea Systems Command's Seaport Next Generation (Seaport-NXG) multiple-award vehicle on January 2, 2019, with a ceiling value of $500 and a completion date of January 1, 2029. The contract encompasses engineering, technical, and programmatic support services across multiple functional areas in direct support of the Department of the Navy. The solicitation, posted February 14, 2018, with a deadline of July 2, 2018, sought contractors with demonstrated experience in twenty-three designated functional areas within the preceding five years. Sam, Inc. brings substantial relevant experience, having provided program management, systems engineering, acquisition management, technical publication services, software development, testing and certification services, and system engineering support to various Navy programs including Ballistic Missile Defense systems, the Littoral Combat Ship program, and Foreign Military Sales initiatives. The contract operates under no set-aside designation and utilizes the primary NAICS code 541330 for professional, scientific, and technical services.

The contract establishes a base ordering period of five years with an option for five additional years, with task orders conducted across seven geographically-distributed zones aligned with Navy ordering office locations. The associated minimum obligation task order, awarded on the same date with identical terms and a firm fixed price structure, specifies a place of performance in Berwyn Heights, Maryland 20740. The Seaport-NXG vehicle replaced the incumbent SeaPort-e contracts, which involved over 3,000 prime contractors, and represents the Navy's continued strategy for acquiring specialized technical and engineering support through a streamlined, multiple-award indefinite-quantity contracting mechanism. Offerors were evaluated on initial proposals without discussions, with awards based on demonstrated capability within the identified functional areas and relevant past performance on Navy projects.
