Take Note ...
> Rolling Admission Seaport-E open until May 1, 2012 -- The private SeaPort e-marketplace provides end-to-end government to contractor support for the acquisition of services from the definition of requirements to contract close-out in a completely paperless and secure environment. The portal is web-based allowing requirements to be defined and proposals to be solicited, submitted, and evaluated from any location. Legally binding digital signatures, which have been defined by the electronic processes, are used to execute task orders. Modifications to task orders are generated in SeaPort by re-using the data captured from the current version of task orders, improving both the processing time and accuracy of modifications. Finally, solicitations, task orders and other contract documents are captured in an electronic resource library to provide models for future procurements. This move from segregated "paper" processes, to fully integrated "electronic" processes, dramatically reduces the time and cost associated with the acquisition of support services. Service acquisitions, which used to take months, now take days. To facilitate continuous improvement, the e-procurement portal captures data on each step of the process providing current performance metrics.
