Seaport Next Generation (Seaport-NXG)

The Seaport Next Generation (Seaport-NXG) is a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle established by the Naval Sea Systems Command to provide comprehensive engineering, technical, and professional services to the Department of the Navy and other federal agencies. Originating from a solicitation released in 2018, the contract vehicle covers a broad spectrum of services spanning engineering, program management, cybersecurity, logistics support, and technical consulting. The vehicle allows Navy and other defense organizations to rapidly procure specialized professional services across twenty-three functional areas, with a base ordering period of five years and an option for an additional five-year extension.

Task orders under Seaport-NXG demonstrate significant diversity in scope, typically ranging from $1 million to $100 million, with contract periods spanning two to six years. Recent task orders have focused on areas such as cybersecurity engineering, maritime operations support, systems engineering, logistics support, and specialized technical services for naval systems. Frequently winning prime contractors include large businesses like SAIC, Booz Allen Hamilton, Leidos, and CACI, as well as small businesses such as Aermor LLC, Vector Planning, and Dignitas Technologies. Most task orders are awarded on a cost-plus-fixed-fee or firm-fixed-price basis, with performance locations spanning naval bases and facilities in the United States and overseas, including locations in Virginia, California, Maryland, Guam, Italy, and the United Arab Emirates. While most awards do not utilize specific set-asides, there are occasional awards to service-disabled veteran-owned, women-owned, and minority-owned small businesses.
