Who can bid
- Limited competition: only holders of the Navy's SeaPort NxG contract can bid, not every business that meets the set-aside.
- SeaPort NxG contract holder that is a small business: 100% small business set-aside task order
Things to watch
- Serious: Only small SeaPort NxG holders can bid. This is a task order under SeaPort NxG, so a business without that contract can't bid except as a subcontractor.
- Worth checking: Cost-type contract. A cost-plus-fixed-fee order usually needs an accounting system that can track and bill costs the way the Government requires.
- Worth checking: Possible work overseas. Staff may need to travel and support foreign governments abroad, which adds cost and staffing risk.
