NASA SEWP VI - Order Guide

NASA SEWP VI is a multi-award Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC). As such,

Contractors are provided fair opportunity for consideration at the individual order level in accordance with FAR Part 16.505(b). 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 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 available 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 the 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 and RFIs, for purposes other than proposing on SEWP requirements. This includes providing third parties who are not SEWP Contract Holders with SEWP information for the purpose of assisting them in submitting unsolicited proposals to meet agency requirements already posted to the NASA SEWP RFQ on-line quoting system.
