SeaPort-e Introduction

SeaPort-e

SeaPort-e is the Navy’s vehicle of choice for the acquisition of services, including engineering, technical, financial, logistics, and program management, across the Virtual SYSCOM (NAVSEA, NAVAIR, NAVSUP, SPAWAR, ONR, and USMC), and is facilitating the Navy’s migration to Performance-Based Contracting.  SeaPort-e is a Sea Enterprise initiative implementing the CNO's Sea Power 21 transformational objectives, and emphasizes the Navy Virtual SYSCOM's focus on implementing cost-effective and integrated business practices to better support our Navy.

How does it work?

Customers who want to procure services through SeaPort-e will find the process very straightforward and similar to what they have done previously, but faster and with more streamlined and user-friendly solicitation documentation and requirements.  Contracts issued through SeaPort-e are considered Task Orders (TOs), and are governed by the terms and conditions of the awarded SeaPort-e prime contract.

The customer identifies the zone in which the work is to be performed, creates a standard solicitation package, and uploads it through the SeaPort-e portal.  The TO Request For Proposal (RFP) is published via the portal to 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 then evaluates the proposals and makes an award.

Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC)

GSI provided design, engineering, installation, preventative maintenance and operations support to NAVFAC Emergency Operations Center (EOC) at NAVFAC headquarters. GSI’s design team provided a videoconferencing and presentation solution consisting of commercial off-the-shelf integrated hardware and customized electronic control system programming to meet the requirements of the customer.  GSI was asked to implement the system within a five (5) day window to minimize the ongoing operations within the EOC.  To accomplish this task, GSI performed all integration work within its facility, allowing for the customer to inspect, test and approve the system functionality before deploying the system to the site.  This action substantially lowered the cost of installation as it reduced the technician and labor hours needed, thus offering the customer reduced facility downtime in providing the needed system capability.  GSI also provided preventative maintenance support consisting of quarterly inspections which allowed for decreased system downtime and increased the system lifecycle.  These measures increased customer satisfaction and reduced the system lifecycle costs. 

Office of Naval Research (ONR)

GSI provided design, engineering, installation, preventative maintenance and operations support to ONR to upgrade all computer, network, audio visual, and videoconferencing systems located in their Management Information Center (MIC) at ONR headquarters in Arlington, Virginia.  GSI was initially brought on to provide a complete system documentation package for the existing system, as well to make an assessment of the required system upgrades to improve overall performance and reduce system downtime.  GSI engineers and technicians also provided repairs to the existing system until the upgrades could be performed.  The complete redesign of the videoconferencing and presentation system to provide state of the art technology and initiate a new lifecycle for the equipment used in the MIC will serve to increase overall system performance, reduce lifecycle costs and provide a higher level of proficient information dissemination to aide in accomplishing the mission of The Office of Naval Research. 

Naval Surface Warfare Center – Dahlgren (NSWC)

GSI provided design, engineering, installation, preventative maintenance and operations support to NSWC tenants such as The Joint Warfare Analysis Center, AEGIS Training Center and [redacted] to upgrade all computer, network, audio visual, videoconferencing systems located on base.  Services provided included operations support, preventative maintenance and repair and training.
