Before:
SUPSHIP Puget Sound has been directed by NAVSEA 07 to procure US
Navy ship repair services via the open bid solicitation method.

and labor dollars in producing paper copies of solicitation,
specification and shipboard engineering drawings for the several
solicitation packages required each Fiscal Year. The expense also
included storage and mailing of the paper documents to potential
bidders.
EC Solution: The ECRC
trained the SUPSHIP Contracting and Engineering Divisions in
producing Internet-based solicitations packages. The individual
solicitation packages are zipped into a self-installing file and
are available for download over the Internet. Solicitation
registration is accomplished via online form.
After: SUPSHIP Puget
Sound has successfully awarded approximately 65 contracts through
this Internet Web site for a combined award amount of $80 million
dollars. The budget cost savings in paper products, reproduction,
storage and mailing have been estimated to be several thousands of
dollars. |
