Theta is proud to join the Navy’s $37B Seaport-e IDIQ Contract Vehicle as a sub-contractor to our Prime Everetech, LLC, during the 2016 Rolling Admission. Seaport-e is the Navy’s electronic platform for acquiring support services for the Virtual System Commands (SYSCOM), which include NAVSEA, NAVAIR, NAVSUP, SPAWAR, Strategic Systems Program (SSP), and NAVFAC. Work under this vehicle covers a broad range of services, including engineering, financial management, and program management.
The SeaPort-e ID/IQ MAC supports all cost-reimbursable contract types, except for T&M and sole-source contracts. It has a 15 year period of performance, valid through April 2019, with a base 5-year contract and two five year award terms.
SeaPort-e is a Sea Enterprise initiative implementing the CNO’s Sea Power 21 transformational objectives. It emphasizes the Navy Virtual SYSCOM’s focus on implementing cost-effective and integrated business practices to support our United States Navy better.

HOW DOES IT WORK
In general, customers identify in what Zone their work is to be performed, they create their standard solicitation package (less data not needed and covered by the already awarded SeaPort-e contract) and upload through the SeaPort-e portal. Through the portal, the TO RFP is published for a 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-e 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-e procurements occur electronically through a single NAVSEA portal. On the web site, our customers are SeaPort-e 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. On SeaPort-e, we are a Seller. Raytheon SeaPort-e’s Program Office is the only authorized Raytheon Seller, and therefore all RTN proposals are submitted through our SeaPort-e PMO. - Fast Procurement Timelines:
Procurements on SeaPort-e are streamlined, and typically occur in 5-30 days and are nominally 12- 20 days in duration. Customers decide what the procurement timeline will be, and most favored companies generally can respond to quick, ten days or less RFP response times. - 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 the all-encompassing SeaPort-e contract covers these contract items. - Notification of Opportunities:
SeaPort-e contract synopsis and procurement intentions are not announced on NECO or FedbizOps. They are only announced to SeaPort-e 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-e announcements, please contact the SeaPort-e 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.
