SeaPort Enhanced

Tessada & Associates, Inc. has recently graduated from the 8(a) program to a large business status. For the past 10 years, Tessada has provided acquisition logistics support (SOW 3.16, 3.17) to various auxiliary ship programs in support of NAVSEA's PMS 325 at NAVSEA headquarters and various shipyards. As a current teammate to Jacobs on the NAWDWD Engineering Support Services II (ESS II) contract, TESSADA has provided engineering and logistics support for naval aviation and missile programs. Continuity in providing services to NAVAIR as the Jacobs team is key to the Navy's success in developing weapons for the 21st century warfighter. Tessada's specific support through ESS II includes use of computer models to predict missile performance (SOW 3.2, 3.3), support for all facets of missile test and evaluation, modification of software (SOW 3.6), and systems integration.

Tessada will be considered for all tasking which Jacobs will propose. They will be included in those efforts that are a direct match to their core competencies, and where they demonstrate technical, management and cost approaches that meet task order requirements. This will give them the opportunity to grow their technical abilities beyond their core capabilities. In the past four years, Jacobs has teamed with Tessada – they were an 8(a) company – on ESS II and assisted them in developing their capabilities in Systems Engineering, and Modeling and Simulation, capabilities that they did not have prior to joining the ESS II team. We intend to continue to include them as a core member of our team as we pursue future SeaPort Enhanced task orders at NAWCWD.

Tessada will be considered for all functional areas of the statement of work, however, we believe that their capabilities are especially relevant to SOW paragraphs 3.2, 3.3, 3.6, 3.16 and 3.17.
