INDUS has taken the rolling admissions opportunity to add over 29 sub-contractors to its SeaPort-e team, with a significant portion of these being small businesses. The companies include: Access, Collins Consultants, Coalescent Technologies Corp., FSK Technologies, GeoLogics, Haulsey Engineering, ICI, IPS Network, MBK Consultants, Liberty, Applied Sciences Corp., Omega Point Solutions, Progeny, RL Philips, Telesis Corp., the Marlin Alliance, TLC, Alutiq, ACS, Galaxy, KEI Pearson, L3 Communications, NAVMAR, SETA, TDS, WFI, Wielly Laboratories (AI Engr.

The Virtual SYSCOM began acquiring Engineering, Technical and Program Management services under the SeaPort-e in May 2005. In October 2004, the Virtual SYSCOM Commanders formalized an agreement to expand the ordering community of SeaPort-e to include all Virtual SYSCOM activities and to leverage the success of the SeaPort-e in achieving objectives across the Virtual SYSCOM.

Advantages of SeaPort-e electronic procurement of Engineering, Technical and Programmatic support include: electronic processing; leveraging buying power and increased emphasis on past performance in the source selection process; strong small business participation; ability to easily set aside competitions for small businesses; and a real time reporting and Business Intelligence.

The Commanders of the Navy Virtual System Command are leveraging the successes and efficiencies of SeaPort-e by designating SeaPort-e the vehicle of choice for future Engineering, Financial and Program Management contractor support services. This emphasizes their focus on implementing cost-effective integrated business practices to better support the Navy.
