Solutions for Enterprise Wide Procurement IV (SEWP IV)

The Solutions for Enterprise Wide Procurement IV (SEWP IV) is a government-wide acquisition contract (GWAC) managed by NASA that provides federal agencies with a comprehensive platform for procuring advanced information technology products and services. The contract vehicle covers a wide range of technology solutions, including computer hardware (tablets, desktops, servers), network equipment, storage systems, software products, cloud services, video conferencing systems, and related IT infrastructure components. Awarded in May 2007 with a shared ceiling of $5.6 billion, SEWP IV enabled federal agencies to efficiently acquire commercial off-the-shelf technology through a streamlined procurement process.

Task orders under SEWP IV demonstrate remarkable diversity, with contract values ranging from a few thousand dollars to over $4 million and typical durations between several months to three years. Frequently successful prime contractors include PCMG, Inc., FCN Inc., Blue TECH Inc., and World Wide Technology LLC, with many being certified small businesses such as woman-owned or service-disabled veteran-owned enterprises. The Department of Justice, Department of Veterans Affairs, and Department of the Interior emerged as prominent funding agencies, with task orders predominantly focused on network equipment, software licensing, hardware procurement, and IT infrastructure upgrades. Most task orders were not set aside for specific small business categories, and performance locations were typically across various federal facilities nationwide. The contract primarily utilized firm fixed-price delivery order mechanisms, providing agencies predictable pricing for technology acquisitions.
