SEWP (Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement)
SEWP stands for Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement. SEWP is a governmentwide acquisition contract managed by NASA. It is used heavily to buy IT hardware, software and related services like installation and maintenance.
Agencies send requests to SEWP holders and get quotes quickly. The program has run in successive generations, and holders are chosen through competitions for each one.
Why it matters to a small contractor
If you resell IT equipment or do install work, SEWP holders often need regional partners and suppliers. Reach out to holders rather than waiting to win a seat yourself.
Example
An Air Force office wants 50 network switches installed. It posts a request on SEWP, gets five quotes, and orders from the lowest-priced acceptable one.
SEWP: common questions
Is SEWP only for NASA?
No. Any federal agency can order from it.
Can a small subcontractor work through SEWP?
Yes, by teaming with a holder who adds your products or services to its offering.
