1. How do I access the SeaPort portal?
At contract award, a company e-business point of contact was established based upon submitted proposals. Your company's point of contact has the authority to provide user login and password for all members of that prime contractor's team, including individuals from that company and subcontractors. Subcontractors should contact their prime contractor's point of contact in order to gain access to the SeaPort. Only current prime contractors and their team members may have access to the portal.

2. How do I become a contractor in the SeaPort or SeaPort-e programs?
In accordance with the respective SeaPort and SeaPort-e contracts, the Government reserves the right to review contracts periodically to determine whether it would be appropriate to reissue a solicitation for the purpose of adding additional IDIQ holders. If after this review, it is in the best interest of the government, the PCO may announce a new competition to add additional IDIQ holders.

A prime Contractor may add or delete any team member from the team with a prior contract modification signed by the PCO. If you are interested in becoming a subcontractor on a SeaPort MAC team, please notify the sub-contractor points of contact for the individual teams.

For all information regarding Rolling Admissions, please visit the Rolling Admissions process information page.

3. How do I invoice the Government?
Invoices should be sent to your Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) for payment through the appropriate DFAS payment office. A copy of each invoice should be submitted to the Task Order Manager (TOM) or as specified in the individual task order.

4. How do I request a debrief?
Award of task orders under these IDIQ contracts are not governed by FAR Part 15, but the issuing contracts office identified in the Task Order solicitation will accommodate requests for award determination information to the maximum extent possible. Please contact the contract specialist and/or PCO in charge of the bid event for information regarding the award determination.

5. How do I report a problem with the SeaPort-e portal?
