What types of technical expertise does NAVSEA prioritize for new contractors?

NAVSEA prioritizes vendors with specialized capabilities in marine engineering, naval architecture, and cybersecurity for shipboard control systems. Contractors must demonstrate the ability to meet strict military specifications and sustainment requirements for complex maritime platforms.

How does NAVSEA structure its major procurement competitions?

NAVSEA frequently utilizes Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts and SeaPort-NxG, the Navy's primary vehicle for engineering and professional support services. Competitions often require detailed technical proposals that emphasize past performance in maritime environments and adherence to rigorous quality assurance standards.

Are security clearances required to work with NAVSEA?

Yes, many NAVSEA contracts involve Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) or classified technical data, necessitating Facility Security Clearances (FCL) for the company and personnel security clearances for employees. Vendors should ensure their cybersecurity posture aligns with CMMC requirements to remain eligible for sensitive maritime defense work.
