NASA SEWP

What NASA SEWP does

NASA SEWP (Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement) is a Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) operated by NASA under statutory Executive Agent designation from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) pursuant to the Clinger-Cohen Act (formerly the Information Technology Management Reform Act of 1996). The program provides all U.S. Federal Agencies, including the Department of Defense, and their approved support service contractors with pre-competed access to commercial Information Technology, Communication and Audio Visual (ITC/AV) products and services spanning desktops, servers, networking, storage, security, software, cloud, telecom, health IT, and video conferencing, plus related installation and maintenance services. SEWP distributes its catalog through a marketplace of 140+ pre-competed Prime Contract Holders, of which more than 100 are small businesses across SDVOSB, WOSB, EDWOSB, HUBZone, VOSB, and SB categories, with 190+ contracts under Program Office oversight. The program's technology layer is a ServiceNow-based Customer Support Center hosting an authenticated web tools suite (Quote Request Tool, Order Status Tool, Q&A Tool, Program Performance tool, Message Center) and a ServiceNow-backed self-serve portal (support.sewp.nasa.gov), supplemented by the Established Authorized Reseller Program (EARP), ISO 20243-aligned supply chain risk management, and FedRAMP-aware cloud ordering.

SEWP is not a separately incorporated commercial entity; it is a federal procurement program funded through NASA's Working Capital Fund with a transaction-based recovery model. The Program Office, led by Program Director Joanne Woytek (a 45+ year NASA veteran and two-time Federal 100 awardee) with Senior Deputy Theresa Kinney, Deputy George Nicol, and Program Administrator Melissa Moore, is located at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. The program is currently transitioning from SEWP V (with its ordering period extended through September 30, 2026 and an option to April 30, 2027) to SEWP VI, which will introduce Marketplaces, Agency Storefronts, Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs), and Delivery Orders with Options (DOWOs). Marketing and customer engagement are conducted through free federal-only webinars, on-demand training videos, downloadable whitepapers, and a speaker program coordinated 6-8 weeks in advance of outreach events, with DoD customers required to complete SEWP training certification prior to ordering.

Revenue model

1. Pre-competed GWAC contract transactions: SEWP is a federal Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC), not a commercial revenue entity; it is funded through NASA's Working Capital Fund (WCF) per Theresa Kinney's preparation of NASA's first WCF business case. Underlying order flow is transaction-based: Federal Agencies issue orders against pre-competed contracts held by 140+ Prime Contract Holders, with SEWP earning recovery through the WCF model rather than direct commercial sales.
2. Government-funded program operations: Program operations are funded as a NASA Executive Agent activity under OMB designation via the Clinger-Cohen Act (formerly ITMRA 1996), with budget administered by the SEWP Program Office.

Core offering

NASA SEWP (Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement) is a Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) that provides federal agencies and their approved contractors with pre-competed access to commercial Information Technology, Communication and Audio Visual (ITC/AV) products and services. The program operates through 140+ pre-competed Prime Contract Holders, including 100+ small businesses, and is supported by an integrated web-based procurement tool suite (QRT, Order Status Tool, Q&A Tool, Program Performance, Message Center).

Product overview

NASA SEWP (Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement) is a single-platform Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) offering rather than a traditional multi-module SaaS suite. The platform is delivered through the SEWP V contract vehicle (with SEWP VI launching as its successor) and is operated by NASA as an Executive Agent under OMB designation. Around this core contract, SEWP provides a Web Tools suite comprising the Quote Request Tool (QRT), Order Status Tool, Question and Answer Tool, Program Performance tool, and Message Center; governance programs such as the Established Authorized Reseller Program (EARP) and the SEWP Marketplace and Agency Storefronts vision; and an Outreach & Training Program of on-demand videos, webinars, and briefings. Adjacent deliverables such as the Federal Mobility Categories & Acquisition Options Guide extend the program into mobility acquisition guidance for federal customers.

Others

• NASA Shared Services Center (NSSC) Procurement: NASA's internal procurement arm handles agency-specific purchasing; adjacent ecosystem participant with overlap to SEWP in serving NASA's IT procurement needs but operating inside a single agency rather than government-wide.

Regional players

• DLA Information Operations (DLA IT Contracting): Defense Logistics Agency procures commercial IT commodities and services on behalf of DoD and other federal agencies — comparable to SEWP's GWAC aggregator function, though primarily focused on hardware/commodity IT rather than full IT/AV scope.
• DoD Enterprise Software Initiative (ESI): DoD ESI negotiates enterprise software agreements for the Department of Defense and other federal agencies — comparable to SEWP's role as a centralized federal IT/software procurement vehicle, though narrower in scope (software only) and DoD-anchored.
• U.S. Army CHESS (Computer Hardware, Enterprise Software and Solutions): Army CHESS is the Army's designated primary source for commercial IT procurement (hardware, software, services) via ITES-3H and similar contracts — comparable to SEWP in procurement mechanism but scoped primarily to the U.S. Army rather than all federal agencies.

Direct peers

• GSA Federal Acquisition Service - MAS (Multiple Award Schedule): GSA's MAS (formerly Schedule 70) is a government-wide IT contract vehicle used by every federal agency to procure commercial IT products and services — directly competing with SEWP for the same federal IT procurement transactions.
• GSA VETS-2 GWAC: VETS-2 is a government-wide IT services contract vehicle restricted to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, serving the same federal IT buyer base as SEWP with a small-business set-aside focus analogous to SEWP's small business contract holder categories.
• NITAAC (NIH Information Technology Acquisition and Assessment Center): Operates CIO-SP3 and CIO-SP4 Government-Wide Acquisition Contracts for federal IT procurement, making it the closest functional peer to NASA SEWP — both serve as OMB-aligned IT GWAC vehicles aggregating federal demand through pre-competed contract holders.

Broad incumbents

• GSA OASIS+: GSA's OASIS+ is a government-wide professional services contract vehicle spanning management, technical, and IT services; it overlaps with SEWP on IT services and broader federal procurement use cases as part of GSA's wider portfolio.
