Seaport Enhanced

The following is a summary of Harrington Group Team members' capabilities, expertise and experience.


Harrington Group has assembled a broad and deep partnership fully capable of addressing the needs of the bulk of the prescribed functional areas in each of the seven cited Zones. We will achieve this through joining Harrington with a blend of ten partners, each of whom brings a mix of both specific and broad talents, ranging from very large businesses, a large business and a group of small businesses that encompass every available SBA certification. Our team composition allows us to address many of the goals of SeaPort-e and DOD to ensure business opportunities are provided to competent small and disadvantaged enterprises while at the same time providing depth across all Zones in the form of our large and very large partners.

The Harrington Group Team possesses expertise in the bulk, if not all, of the functional areas of each of the cited Zones. Our smaller partners often provide extensive functional coverage in specific Zones, while our larger partners provide functional depth across multiple Zones. We have completed the attached Table A’s to indicate the broadest participation practicable by our partners in each of the functional areas and Zones, with the inference being we have much more depth in these functional areas, across the board, than we can indicate in the space allotted in the respective Table A’s. Harrington Group has assembled the Team with a restricted size to ensure it remains manageable but with an intent to make it large enough to assure the Government we have sufficient presence and experience in each of the Zones. If required, we will be able to rapidly secure additional support should we not have it readily available within internal team resources. Our Team is especially strong in mission areas addressing Littoral Warfare, Ships and Ship Systems, and Surface Ship Combat Systems. Our functional areas reflect our expertise in these mission areas, with a special focus on Modeling, Software, Training and Program Management Support. Although our Table A’s indicate limitations on experience in Zone 7, our general depth across the board and our recruiting competence should assure the Government, when combined with our individual team members records of superb management and accomplishment, that we have the ability to secure the requisite talent and manage to the task in virtually any Zone under consideration.

The Harrington Group Team is extremely well resourced with talented personnel, representing a superb balance of practical experience, training and education. We believe our Team is prepared and can deliver to any of the myriad challenges presented to Industry by the broad spectrum of potential users who might avail themselves of the SeaPort-E contract.
