Vertex: Prime seat for SeaPort NxG

MADISON, Miss. - Vertex Aerospace of Madison, Miss., has been awarded a Prime seat in the Navy's SeaPort Next Generation award contract vehicle. This portal is designed to provide an efficient means of soliciting offers from thousands of multiple award contract (MAC) holders - large and small businesses and pre-approved team members. SeaPort-NxG awards were issued to a limited number of businesses. Bids for awards were evaluated based on the bidding companies' past naval contracts and the technical aspects of submitted proposals. Vertex currently provides commercial air services, maintenance, and supply-chain support to six Navy contracts, several of which the global aerospace company has supported for over 20 years, including logistics support services for Navy T-34, T-44, C-9, and E-6B programs at locations such as NAS Pensacola and Whiting Field, Fla. Vertex’s selection will allow the Mississippi firm to compete for future naval support service opportunities valued at $5B annually. The Navy will begin using SeaPort-NxG MACs to award task orders for services in 2019.
