SEWP Program Overview

NASA SEWP VI (Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement) is a 10-year Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC), administered by the NASA SEWP Program Management Office, that gives federal agencies direct access to a pool of pre-vetted, pre-awarded contract holders for IT, communications, and audio-visual products and services. Rather than running their own market research and competition from scratch, agencies request quotes through the SEWP Quote Request Tool and submit orders to the SEWP Program Management Office under standard federal Fair Opportunity procedures, reducing acquisition lead time while maintaining full competition among qualified vendors.

A.1.13 Fair Opportunity and Requests for Quotes

Contract clause - reproduced verbatim

Contractors will be provided a fair opportunity at the individual order level as appropriate per FAR Part 16.505(b), including the SEWP RFQ tools. No documentation for the order selection is required to be submitted with the order. All such documentation is to be maintained by the issuing procurement office.

The Contractor shall not market, quote or otherwise offer for sale, any IT Solutions not listed under this contract, until the said solutions are included in the SEWP database of record, and available to all Government end-users.

If the Government issues a Request For Information (RFI) as part of market research, the Contractor may provide items not yet listed on their SEWP contract as part of a market research quote if:

  1. all such items are clearly marked as not yet available on their SEWP contract; and
  2. the contractor submits a technology refreshment request to add those products to their contract

If the Government issues a Request For Quote (RFQ) or a Market Research Request (MRR), the Contractor may only respond with items available on their Contract, and the price of each item shall be no greater than the price in Attachment F SEWP database of record at the time the quote is issued. If the Contractor has insufficient items on their contract to fully respond to the Formal RFQ, the Contractor must respond with a No Bid.

Unless the RFQ specifically allows for partial quotes, the Contractor must respond fully to all requirements specified in the RFQ. When submitting a quote to a government end-user, the contractor must clearly state the length of time the quote is valid. The contractor shall honor any order submitted within the stated time period of a quote.

When responding to an RFI or RFQ issued from the NASA SEWP RFQ on-line quoting system, the Contractor must respond as outlined in Attachment C: Contract Holder User Manual (CHUM).

Contract Holders are prohibited from using Government information posted on the NASA SEWP Contract Holder Only Page, such as RFQs, RFIs, etc., for purposes other than proposing on SEWP requirements. This includes Contract Holders providing third parties with SEWP information and requirements for the purpose of assisting companies, that are not SEWP Contract Holders, with providing unsolicited proposals to meet agency requirements already posted to the NASA SEWP RFQ on-line quoting system.
