SeaPort I

The SeaPort I (SeaPort-e) is a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle managed by the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) for acquiring professional support services across 22 functional areas. The contract covers a wide range of technical and professional services, including engineering, financial management, program management, logistics support, and other professional services. Established in October 2000 with a last ordering date of September 30, 2017, the vehicle was designed to provide flexible, competitive task order contracting for Navy systems commands, including NAVSEA, NAVAIR, SPAWAR, NAVFAC, and NAVSUP, as well as the Office of Naval Research, Military Sealift Command, and the United States Marine Corps.

Task orders under SeaPort I consistently demonstrate a focus on cost-plus contract types, predominantly Cost Plus Fixed Fee, with values ranging from thousands to hundreds of millions of dollars. Frequently winning prime contractors included Anteon Corporation, Advanced Marine Enterprises, John J McMullen Associates, EG&G Technical Services, and BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services. The task orders typically supported specific naval programs such as submarine systems, naval warfare centers, above-water sensors, and destroyer-related engineering and technical support. Most task orders were awarded to contractors based in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, with no set-aside designations. The contract vehicle had a specific goal of awarding 33% of total obligated dollars to small businesses as prime contractors, with large businesses required to meet a 20% small business subcontracting goal.
