NASA SEWP V – A Best-in-Class Contracting Vehicle

ORDERING GUIDELINES

SEWP Delivery Orders must be routed to the NASA SEWP Program Office in the following ways:

• Via Fax: (301) 286-0317
• Via Email: sewporders@sewp.nasa.gov
• Mail orders to: SEWP Program Management Office, 10210 Greenbelt Road, Suite #200, Lanham, MD 20706

Do not forward orders directly to a Contract Holder. Contract Holders may only accept Delivery Orders through the NASA SEWP Program Office and the orders must have an assigned SEWP tracking number.

LOW SURCHARGE

As of February 1, 2018, the SEWP surcharge for all orders is a 0.375%. 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.

FAIR OPPORTUNITY WHEN USING SEWP CONTRACTS

Fair Opportunity: FAR 16.505(b) (1) provides that each contractor shall be given fair opportunity to be considered for each order exceeding $3,000 and issued under multiple award contracts. The FAR states that the method to obtain fair opportunity is at the discretion of the CO and that the CO must document the rationale for placement and price of each order. Using the SEWP online Quote Request Tool is the recommended method to assist in this activity and to augment the required decision documentation. The SEWP QRT tool will automatically include the Contract Holders within a selected Group or based on a suggested source.

NOTE: Fair Opportunity to all Contract Holders within one or more SEWP Groups is required. There is no requirement to obtain 3 quotes as long as all Contract Holders within a Group were provided opportunity to provide a quote.
