KeyLogic Awarded Navy Seaport-e Contract 

 

In April, KeyLogic was one of 151 contractors to receive the U.S. Navy's Seaport-e Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award Contract (MAC).  Seaport-e was created by the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) to organize the procurement process of Professional Support Services (PSS) faster and more efficiently, while also meeting the terms of a directive from the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) insisting that 50% of all support service be procured using performance-based contracting by 2005.  Like KeyLogic, 68% of the Seaport-e MAC awardees are small businesses.

 

The Seaport procurement portal provides a secure, automated procurement process that improves processing time and the ability to take advantage of numerous acquisition reform initiatives including award term contracting, reverse auctioning and approvals via electronic signature, which allow Program Managers to select solutions that meet their PSS requirements.  Seaport is functional and web-based; the system allows requirements to be defined and proposals to be solicited, submitted and evaluated from any location.  All solicitations, task orders and contract documents are captured in an electronic resource library to provide accurate records and models for future use; Seaport task order modifications are generated by re-using data from current versions of similar solicitations, improving processing time and modification accuracy.
