SeaPort-NxG

SeaPort-NxG replaced the earlier SeaPort-e program and is managed by the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA). It uses a rolling admissions model — unlike most IDIQ vehicles, SeaPort-NxG accepts new contractor applications on a continuous basis, making it one of the most accessible large contract vehicles in the federal market.

SeaPort-NxG functional areas include:

• Engineering, system engineering, and process engineering
• Research and development support
• Modeling, simulation, stimulation, and analysis
• Prototyping, pre-production, and model-making
• System design documentation and technical data
• Software engineering and development
• Reliability, maintainability, and availability
• Human factors engineering
• Configuration management
• Quality assurance
• Program management support
• Acquisition and life cycle logistics support
• Financial management
• Information technology

How SeaPort-NxG works:

• Zone assignments — The U.S. is divided into geographic zones. Contract holders are assigned to zones where they can perform work. You can apply for additional zones after award.
• Task order competition — Navy activities post RFPs to SeaPort-NxG contract holders in the relevant zone. Proposals are evaluated and awards are made at the task order level.
• Rolling admissions — New offerors can apply at any time. GSA evaluates proposals on a rolling basis and awards new contracts periodically.

Getting on SeaPort-NxG:

• Submit a proposal through the SeaPort-NxG portal (seaport.navy.mil)
• Demonstrate relevant past performance in your selected functional areas
• Small businesses receive favorable consideration — the Navy has aggressive small business goals on SeaPort

SeaPort-NxG is particularly valuable for engineering and technical services firms. Once on the vehicle, actively monitor the SeaPort portal for task order opportunities — the Navy posts hundreds of new requirements annually.
