for SeaPort-e Teaming

San Diego, Calif. - January 7, 2006 - Chassis Plans, The Original Industrial Computer Source™, has become a member of the SeaPort Enhanced (SeaPort-e™) team established by The Marlin Alliance, Inc., a leading provider of business transformation and process management services.

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) established the SeaPort Office to meet NAVSEA strategic sourcing objectives and performance based contracting directives while providing a comprehensive framework for NAVSEA Professional Support Services (PSS) acquisitions.
