NAVSEA SeaPort Project Case Study

This case study outlines the challenges faced by the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) in procuring Professional Support Services (PSS), which amounted to over $70 billion annually. The procurement process was fragmented across commands, utilized various processes, and relied heavily on level of effort rather than performance-based terms, leading to increased costs without achieving desired outcomes. To address these issues, NAVSEA initiated the SeaPort project, which aimed to create an integrated environment for managing professional support services. The solution involved upgrading the SeaPort infrastructure and migrating to a .NET platform, enhancing software capabilities to meet customer needs. The case study details the implementation and maintenance of SeaPort Next Generation (NxG), which improved procurement and task order management. It also highlights the benefits realized, including significant enhancements to user experience, cost savings, reduced lead times, and improved transparency in procurement processes.
