SeaPort NxG rolling admissions started in Spring of 2024. Due to the short turnaround from the dropping of the SeaPort solicitation and the expected due date (approximately 4 weeks), I recommend an industry expert such as ez8a to assist a limited number of firms. Call them immediately to reserve your place and their assistance with your firm.

The Navy is nearing the end of phasing out SeaPort-e and replacing it with SeaPort NxG. The SeaPort group of contracts is the Navy’s electronic platform for acquiring support services in 23 functional areas. It has approximately 2,000 federal contractors with over $5 Billion in federal spending. Small businesses comprise approximately 85% of the SeaPort contractors.

SeaPort-e & SeaPort NxG Small Business Highlights

Seaport in its design has small business utilization built into it. As a result of these efforts:

-85% of SeaPort contract holders are small businesses.

-44% of all spending obligations with SeaPort went to small businesses or roughly $2.5 billion out of $5.4 billion in spending!

-Allows for small business set-asides whereby task order competitions are restricted to certain socio-economic categories such as WOSB, HUBZone, SDVOSB, and 8(a).

-The standardization of the SeaPort process benefits small businesses by reducing the administrative burden which generally gives larger contractors with specialized teams an advantage.

SeaPort Program Key Information

-SeaPort refers to both a set of Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award Contracts (MACs) and an electronic platform to solicit, award and administer task orders.

-SeaPort consists of SeaPort-e and SeaPort-NxG – which are separate sets of MACs utilizing the same electronic platform although with separate portals.

-All task orders are competitively solicited, awarded, and administered using the SeaPort portal.

-SeaPort is a Tier 1 Federal Contract. There are Tier 0-3 Federal Contracts with 0 not fitting into a category. As a Tier 1 contract, SeaPort is mandatory in its use by the agencies with which it presides over. Therefore, having a SeaPort contract will likely be the only way to obtain certain types of work from the Department of the Navy.

Benefits of SeaPort NxG

The average small business with a SeaPort NxG contract has just under $1.5 Million in SeaPort Sales. There are other benefits to being on SeaPort other than just the dollar value:

-Long-term relationships are built within the Department of the Navy.

-Broad scope of work allows firms to expand their capabilities.

-Signals to other potential clients that your firm meets rigorous DoD requirements.

-Networking with other Navy contractors can lead to additional contracting and subcontracting opportunities.

-Innovation is driven in the Navy through the SeaPort contract and therefore your firm gets to become part of innovative solutions.
