VRCO and the Seaport-e Contract
Virginia Beach, VA - June 24, 2005 -
VRCO has been awarded a prime contract under the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) SeaPort Enhanced (SeaPort-e) program to provide engineering, technical and programmatic support services. SeaPort-e is an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) vehicle that provides for a consistent procurement process for support services to the Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Air Systems Command, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command, Naval Supply Systems Command, Military Sealift Command, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Strategic Systems Programs, and the United States Marine Corps. The Government estimates a maximum of $5,300,000,000 of services will be procured per year via orders issued under the SeaPort Enhanced (SeaPort-e) multiple award contracts. The awards have a four-year base period with one five-year award term and one additional one-year award term.
SeaPort-e is an electronic, web-based portal where requests for services are managed from "Cradle to grave". This "paper-less" system promotes time efficiency and a reduction in administrative costs. Competition on a task order basis results in cost savings in addition to the already capped fees and pass-through rates established on the SeaPort-e MACs. The SeaPort-e acquisition is comprised of seven regional zones in which task orders will be competed based upon the principal place of performance. These awards contain provisions to set aside requirements for small businesses, service disabled veteran owned small businesses, and historically under-utilized business zone small businesses. Under these multiple award contracts, each contractor will be provided a fair opportunity to compete for individual task orders solicited within their zone or zones of performance.
VRCO has partnered with Continuum Services LLC, a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business, to provide expertise in the following zones:
