How Does It Work?
For our USN customers, procuring services through SeaPort-NxG is very similar to what they do today, but faster with reduced, easier to process solicitation documentation and requirements. Contracts issued through SeaPort-NxG are considered Task Orders (TOs) are governed by the terms and conditions of the awarded SeaPort-NxG Prime contract.

In general, customers identify in what Zone the work is to be performed, create their standard solicitation package (less data not needed and covered by the already awarded SeaPort-NxG contract) and upload through the SeaPort-NxG portal. Through the portal, the TO RFP is published for competition to those prime contractors qualified in the Zone where the work is to be performed. Prime contractors in that zone submit their proposals through the SeaPort-NxG portal for evaluation. The Customer evaluates the proposals and makes an award.

What is significantly new for you and our USN customers?

  • Electronic Procurement:
    SeaPort-NxG procurements occur electronically through a single NAVSEA portal. On the website, our customers are SeaPort-NxG Buyers and must register on the portal as a Buyer. Customers use their local Contracting Offices and Contracts Administrators to register and process procurement documents.
  • Less Procurement Documentation:
    Customers do not have to create standard contract clauses, terms, and conditions, or solicitation data such as Section K (Reps & Certs) because these contract items are covered by the all-encompassing SeaPort-NxG contract.
  • Notification of Opportunities:
    SeaPort-NxG contract synopsis and procurement intentions are not announced on NECO or FedBizOps. They are only announced to SeaPort-NxG prime contractors and their team members through automatic e-mailings (note: if you are an RTN employee or team member, and would like to receive automatic notification of all SeaPort-NxG announcements, please contract the SeaPort-NxG Program Office listed below).
  • Flexibility:
    Customers can use SeaPort-e for large, complex, high value engineering support services, or to procure small dollar value procurements ( <$5M) with no more than a 10 page RFP package.
