Thomas Group, Inc., (NasdaqGM:TGIS), today announced it has been awarded a SeaPort Enhanced (SeaPort-e) Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Prime Contract by the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) Surface Warfare Center in Dahlgren, VA. This award has a five-year base term and one additional three-year award term. SeaPort-e is a Web-based, e-business procurement Portal used to facilitate the acquisition of performance-based services that encompass 22 functional service areas and seven geographic contract zones across the U. S. Navy. SeaPort-e provides a faster, better, and more cost-effective means of contracting for professional support services. It furthers the Navy�s Seapower 21 objective to increase efficiency, and allows for tailoring services according to the needs of geographically-dispersed organizations with significantly diverse product area requirements and missions. The U.S. Navy estimates the award of $5.3 Billion per year in professional services through SeaPort-e procurement. In competitively securing the SeaPort-e Prime contract, Thomas Group will implement its proprietary Process Value Management (PVM) change management methodology, a highly effective program already in widespread use throughout the U.S. Navy operations. PVM focuses on defining and driving process improvement, transparency across all related activities, and the elimination of non-value added activities.
