SeaPort-e

The SeaPort-e is a multiple-award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle managed by the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) that provides a comprehensive range of professional, technical, and engineering services to the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Established in 2004, the contract vehicle supports 22 functional areas including engineering, financial management, program management, logistics, and technical support across naval systems commands such as NAVSEA, NAVAIR, SPAWAR, NAVFAC, and NAVSUP. The vehicle allows for competitive task order awards across seven geographic zones, with a strong emphasis on performance-based contracting and small business participation, aiming to award 33% of total obligated dollars to small businesses as prime contractors.

Task orders under SeaPort-e typically range from $5 million to $100 million, with contract durations spanning 3-5 years and covering a wide array of naval support services. Frequently winning prime contractors include large firms like CACI Technologies, Booz Allen Hamilton, Serco-Ips (Alion Science and Technology), ManTech, and Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), alongside smaller businesses such as Mikel Inc., Valkyrie Enterprises, and Universal Consulting Services. Most task orders are cost-plus-fixed-fee or firm fixed-price, with the majority not utilizing specific small business set-asides, though some competitive 8(a) and total small business set-asides do occur. Primary funding agencies are NAVSEA, Naval Air Systems Command, Naval Supply Systems Command, and the U.S. Marine Corps, with performance locations predominantly in Virginia, California, and other coastal states supporting naval infrastructure and operations.
