The NASA SEWP (Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement) GWAC (Government-Wide Acquisition Contract) provides the latest in innovative Information Technology (IT) products and services for all Federal Agencies and their approved contractors. The statutory authority allowing usage of the SEWP contracts by the entire Federal Government is NASA’s designation as an Executive Agent by OMB based on the Information Technology Management Reform Act (ITMRA) of 1996, now the Clinger Cohen Act.
SEWP consists of over 140 pre-competed Prime Contract Holders, including more than 110 small businesses. SEWP contracts offer a vast selection and wide range of commercial advanced technology, including, desktops and servers, IT peripherals, network equipment, storage systems, security tools, software products, cloud based services, telecommunication, Health IT, video conferencing systems and other IT and Audio-Visual products along with product based services such as installation, maintenance and other services related to in-scope products to all Federal Agencies (including Department of Defense) and their approved support service contractors.
CONTRACT INFORMATION
CONTRACT LIFE:
NASA is currently on the 5th iteration of the SEWP contract. Awards for the current SEWP V contract were made in May of 2015, and the duration of the contract will run from October 1, 2020, to April 31, 2026.
Ordering Period:
All SEWP V Contracts have an effective ordering period of May 1, 2015 through April 30, 2026.
Contract Fee and Surcharge:
The SEWP surcharge for all orders is a 0.34%. The fee is included in the price of all items and is not separately listed on quotes. It is the Contract Holder’s responsibility to pay the fee from their quoted prices.
SCOPE:
The scope of the NASA SEWP GWAC covers a broad range of IT hardware, such as laptops, servers, tablets, peripherals, network equipment, storage systems, software products, cloud based services, telecommunications, security tools, as well as product-centric services such as installation, training, engineering, and maintenance services.
COMPETITION:
SEWP is a multi-award contract with well over 100, meaning that many companies hold NASA SEWP contracts. As with all GWACs, SEWP operates according to FAR Part 16.505(b), which defines that unless an exception exists, fair opportunity must be provided to all the contract holders within a given contract group. The government buyer can only specify a vendor to guide the contracting office towards specific contract groups.
PURCHASING THROUGH SEWP:
The SEWP quote request tool provides an easy means for the buyer to submit RFQs, follow the FAR fair opportunity rules, and obtain quotes that have been verified to be accurate and contractually correct.
Buyers can request any product or service that is in-scope. If a company wants to respond to a buyers request and does not yet have the items on contract, they submit a request to the NASA SEWP Program Management Office to add the needed items. If approved by the NASA SEWP Program Management Office (PMO), the company can then respond to the quote request.
