NASA SEWP overview
NASA SEWP (Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement), pronounced “soup”, provides the latest Information Technology, Communication, and Audio-Visual (ITC/AV) solutions and services for all Federal Agencies and their approved contractors. Created in 1993, SEWP I was the first Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) in the federal acquisition space. Originally the vehicle provided only technology products for NASA and other agencies; over the past 30 years SEWP has continually evolved, expanding its scope to meet the requests of its customers. The program is self-funded through a usage fee of 0.34% and supports more than 50,000 orders a year across the Federal Government.
Fair opportunity
FAR 16.505(b)(1) provides that each contractor shall be given fair opportunity to be considered for each order exceeding $10,000 issued under multiple-award contracts. The FAR leaves the method of obtaining fair opportunity to the discretion of the ordering contracting officer, who documents the rationale for placement and price of each order. Using the SEWP online Quote Request Tool (QRT) is the recommended method to assist in this activity and to augment the required decision documentation — the QRT automatically includes the Contract Holders within a selected category or based on a suggested source.
The full text of the Fair Opportunity clause (Contract §A.1.13) is posted on the GCI SEWP VI contract page.
What’s in scope for SEWP VI
SEWP is designed to provide a broad suite of ITC/AV solutions and services. Technology is ever-evolving, and for that reason SEWP’s processes enable Contract Holders to add new commercial technology and IT services to their contracts as customer requirements emerge.
GCI holds a prime contract for Category B and Category C. If you would like SEWP to determine whether your requirement is within scope of the SEWP VI contract, send an overview and/or bill of materials to help@sewp.nasa.gov and the Program Office will review and provide feedback.

How to Obtain a Quote
Services
- Through the SEWP Quote Request Tool (preferred). Government customers create a Request for Information (RFI), Market Research Request (MRR), or Request for Quote (RFQ) at www.sewp.nasa.gov, selecting the category (B or C) that matches the requirement and any small-business set-aside. GCI receives the request automatically and responds through the SEWP system with a verified line-item file at or below our recorded contract prices.
- Pre-solicitation engagement. For capability discussions, budgetary estimates or market research before a formal request, contact our sales team directly at any time.
- Quote validity. Every GCI quote states its validity period, and we honor any order submitted within that period.

The Agency Ordering Process
The internal ordering process of each Agency varies, and the process and accompanying forms for Purchase Requests and Delivery Orders are set by the issuing Agency rather than by the NASA SEWP Program Management Office. The typical sequence is:
- An end-user determines a requirement and generates a Purchase Request (PR).
- The Agency’s procurement office competes the requirement under FAR 16.505(b) fair opportunity — most commonly through the SEWP Quote Request Tool.
- The process results in the issuance of a Delivery Order (DO). Any valid Federal Agency DO form and its associated Delivery Order number may be used.
- The NASA SEWP Program Management Office reviews, processes and tracks issued Delivery Orders and forwards them to the Contract Holder, assigning a SEWP Control Number (SCN).
- GCI begins fulfillment on assignment of the SCN and maintains delivery status in the SEWP system through completion.
Some Agencies have special requirements for issuing IT Delivery Orders; meeting those is the issuing Agency’s responsibility. There are no requirements under the SEWP contracts for issuing Agencies to use other intermediary procurement vehicles.
