CONTRACTOR:
Cynergy Professional Systems, LLC.

CONTRACT NUMBERS:
Group B – SDVOSB – NNG15SD20B
Group C – Small Business – NNG15SC67B

PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE:
NASA is currently on the 5th iteration of the SEWP contract.  Awards for the current SEWP V contract were made in May of 2015, and the duration of the contract will run from May 1, 2015 to April 30, 2025.

SCOPE:
The scope of the NASA SEWP GWAC covers a broad range of IT hardware, such as laptops, servers, tablets, peripherals, network equipment, storage systems, software products, cloud based services, telecommunications, security tools, as well as product-centric services such as installation, training, engineering, and maintenance services.

COMPETITION:
SEWP is a multi-award GWAC (Government-Wide Acquisition Contract) . As with all GWACs, SEWP operates according to FAR Part 16.505(b), which defines that unless an exception exists, fair opportunity must be provided to all the contract holders within a given contract group. The government buyer can only specify a vendor to guide the contracting office towards specific contract groups.

PURCHASING THROUGH SEWP:
The SEWP quote request tool provides an easy means for the buyer to submit RFQs, follow the FAR fair opportunity rules, and obtain quotes that have been verified to be accurate and contractually correct.

Buyers can request any product or service that is in-scope. If a company wants to respond to a buyers request and does not yet have the items on contract, they submit a request to the NASA SEWP Program Management Office to add the needed items. If approved by the NASA SEWP Program Management Office (PMO), the company can then respond to the quote request.

SURCHARGE:
SEWP offers low prices (generally below GSA schedule prices), the lowest surcharge and the easiest and fastest ordering procedure using pre-competed contracts. The SEWP surcharge for all orders is a 0.34%. The fee is included in the price of all products and is not separately listed on quotes. It is the Contract Holder’s responsibility to pay the fee from their quoted product prices.

The SEWP contracts are for use by NASA, all Federal agencies and approved federal agency support service contractors. Contracting officers considering authorizing support service contractors should review the policy at FAR 51.101, and any agency specific guidance or policy, to make the appropriate determination and written finding which supports issuance of the authorization, as required by FAR 51.102 and FAR 51.107. (For NASA contracting officers, additional guidance is provided in the NASA Far Supplement at Subpart 1851.) Approved support service contractors must comply with the requirements at FAR 51.103.

To authorize a contractor to purchase from the SEWP contracts, the authorizing contracting officer should send a copy of the authorization letter to the SEWP Program Management Office (PMO) containing all of the following information:

1. Authorizing Agency Name, Contracting Officer (CO) Name, Mailing Address, Phone/FAX number and the contractor corporate name, division, and address.
2. Contract number and period of performance
3. A statement that the contractor is authorized to purchase from SEWP contracts in support of the above contract.
4. The CO’s/KO’s signature and date signed.

The letter should be sent in advance of or with the first order via fax, e-mail or Ground Mail:

SEWP Program Management Office (PMO) 
10210 Greenbelt Road 
Suite #200 
Lanham, MD 20706 
Phone: (301)286-1478 
Fax: (301)286-0317
Email: sewporders@sewp.nasa.gov 

Upon approval of the authorization letter, the contractor’s name and contract information will be added at the Approved Support Service Contractors web page.

SEWP orders must be routed to the NASA SEWP Program Office either via fax at 301-286-0317 or sewporders@sewp.nasa.gov. 
The SEWP fax cover sheet, or similar form providing contact information, should accompany all orders.

The process and accompanying forms for PR’s and DO’s that are issued against a SEWP contract is defined by the issuing agency and not the NASA SEWP Program Management Office (PMO). The typical process is for an end-user to determine a requirement and generate a purchase request (PR). The PR along with any necessary funding information is sent to that Agency’s procurement office which results in the issuance of a delivery order (DO). Any valid Federal Agency DO form and the associated delivery order number may be used. The NASA SEWP Program Management Office (PMO) does not issue DO’s – these must be issued through the issuing Agency’s procurement office. The SEWP Program Management Office (PMO) reviews, processes and tracks issued DOs and forwards them to the Contract Holder(s)
