About Seaport-e

In 2002, the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) promulgated Seapower 21.  Seapower 21 provides a framework to align, organize and integrate the U.S Navy to meet the wide variety of challenges that lie ahead.  The CNO called upon the entire Navy to find ways to become more efficient and effective.  To meet Seapower 21 objectives and to increase efficiency, the NAVSEA Warfare Centers established the Seaport Enhanced (Seaport-e) Multiple Award Contract (MAC) vehicle, using a web-based, e-business procurement Portal, to facilitate performance-based service acquisition, leverage buyer power, improve business intelligence and reduce cycle time.  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 SeaPort-e in achieving the aforementioned objectives across the Virtual SYSCOM.  Additionally, other activities, including the Military Sealift Command, Strategic Systems Programs, Office of Naval Research, Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), and the United States Marine Corps have chosen to use SeaPort Enhanced.
