Overview
The NASA SEWP (Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement) program, pronounced "soup", provides the latest Information Technology, Communication, and Audio-Visual (ITC/AV) solutions and services to all Federal agencies and their approved contractors.
Created in 1993, SEWP I was the first Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) in the federal acquisition space. The vehicle originally provided technology products only, and has expanded its scope continually over more than 30 years to meet customer demand. SEWP represents acquisition innovation within the Federal Government. The program is self-funded through a 0.34% usage fee and supports more than 50,000 orders a year.
SEWP VI is the sixth generation of the program and succeeds SEWP V. Its period of performance begins November 1, 2026 and runs ten years through October 31, 2036. SEWP VI restructures the program into three scope categories so that agencies can buy products, enterprise-wide services, and mission-based services through the pathway that best fits the requirement. SEWP V ordering continues in parallel until January 31, 2027.
Norseman Defense Technologies was awarded SEWP VI Category A contract 80TECH26D0154 on June 24, 2026, continuing more than a decade of SEWP contract performance. Norseman is an IT Value-Added Reseller (VAR) focused primarily on the Federal Government, and brings the same customer service and attention to detail that customers have come to expect on SEWP V.
Who can use SEWP? The contracts are available to 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.
Competition and fair opportunity. SEWP is a multi-award contract. Per FAR 16.505(b)(1), each contract holder is given fair opportunity to be considered for each order exceeding $10,000 issued under a multiple award contract. The method of providing fair opportunity is at the discretion of the Contracting Officer, who must document the rationale for placement and price of each order. Using the SEWP online Quote Request Tool is the recommended way to support that documentation; the tool automatically includes the contract holders within a selected group or suggested source.
Scope
SEWP VI is designed to provide a broad suite of Information Technology, Communication, and Audio-Visual (ITC/AV) solutions and services. Because technology evolves continuously, SEWP processes let contract holders add new commercial technology and IT services to their contract daily, as customers request them.
SEWP VI contracts were awarded by scope category:
- Category A — ITC/AV Solutions. Norseman holds a Category A contract.
- Category B — Enterprise-Wide ITC/AV Service Solutions
- Category C — Mission-Based ITC/AV Service Solutions
Under Category A, Norseman delivers the full range of ITC/AV products and product-centric services:
- Laptops, desktops, servers, tablets, and peripherals
- Network equipment, storage systems, and data center infrastructure
- Software products and cloud-based services
- Audio-visual, video conferencing, and telecommunications systems
- Cybersecurity tools and security appliances
- Product-centric services: installation, configuration, training, engineering, and maintenance
To have SEWP confirm whether a requirement falls within the scope of the SEWP VI contract, send an overview or bill of materials (BOM) to help@sewp.nasa.gov for review.

How to Order
How the SEWP VI Order Process Works
The internal ordering process of each agency varies. The process and forms for Purchase Requests (PR) and Delivery Orders (DO) issued against a SEWP contract are defined by the issuing agency, not by the NASA SEWP Program Management Office.
Step 1 — End User or Contracting Officer
- Determine the requirement and generate a Purchase Request (PR).
- Establish best value and fair opportunity through market research or the SEWP Quote Request Tool.
- Issue a Delivery Order citing the NASA SEWP contract number and prime contract holder. Any valid Federal agency DO form may be used.
- Send the order to the NASA SEWP PMO.
Step 2 — NASA SEWP Program Management Office (PMO)
- Reviews, processes, and tracks the issued Delivery Order.
- Forwards the valid order to the appropriate contract holder.
Step 3 — SEWP Contract Holder (Norseman)
- Processes the order.
- Delivers equipment and services.
- Invoices the agency or contractor.
All delivery orders must be routed through the NASA SEWP PMO. The PMO does not issue Delivery Orders; these must come from the issuing agency's procurement office. Any modification to an order must also route through the PMO. Processing time is typically one business day.
The SEWP online Quote Request Tool is the recommended method for requesting quotes and for documenting fair opportunity. To request a quote directly from Norseman for hardware, software, or services, contact:

SEWP V to SEWP VI Transition
SEWP VI does not switch on overnight. SEWP V ordering has been extended through January 31, 2027, and SEWP VI begins on November 1, 2026, so the two vehicles run side by side for three months. Use the timeline below to decide where a requirement belongs.
SEWP V only. SEWP VI is awarded but its period of performance has not started.
Both vehicles operate concurrently. Customers choose the one that fits the requirement.
SEWP VI only. No new orders may be issued against SEWP V.
What this means for your order
- SEWP V solicitations are accepted through January 31, 2027. After that date no new orders may be issued against the SEWP V contracts.
- Existing SEWP V orders continue past that date. Modifications to existing orders and option years already on existing orders may be exercised beyond the end of the SEWP V ordering period.
- SEWP V quotes are capped during the transition. All SEWP V quotes are limited to a maximum period of performance of a Base Year plus five Option Years. A requested period of performance beyond that limit is capped at Base Year plus five Option Years on the SEWP V quote.
- A SEWP V order stays a SEWP V order. Contract holders cannot move an order to SEWP VI. Shifting a requirement to SEWP VI means issuing a completely new RFQ and satisfying the SEWP VI fair opportunity requirements.
- When in doubt, ask the PMO. The NASA SEWP Program Management Office decides how to proceed on questions about which vehicle to use. Contact help@sewp.nasa.gov or (301) 286-1478.
Requirements already solicited or on order under SEWP V stay there. See the SEWP V contract page for that vehicle's ordering details.
Fair Opportunity
NASA SEWP VI is a multiple-award Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC). Norseman Defense Technologies holds Category A contract 80TECH26D0154 as one of several contract holders competing for orders placed under the vehicle.
Contract Clause A.1.13 — Fair Opportunity and Requests for Quotes
“Contractors will be provided a fair opportunity at the individual order level as appropriate per FAR Part 16.505(b), including the SEWP RFQ tools. No documentation for the order selection is required to be submitted with the order. All such documentation is to be maintained by the issuing procurement office.”
FAR 16.505(b)(1) provides that each contractor shall be given fair opportunity to be considered for each order exceeding $10,000 issued under multiple award contracts. The method used to provide fair opportunity is at the discretion of the Contracting Officer, who must document the rationale for the placement and price of each order.
The SEWP Quote Request Tool automatically includes the contract holders within a selected group or suggested source, and is the recommended way to satisfy and document this requirement.
Requests for Quotes
Contract holders may not market, quote, or otherwise offer for sale any solutions not listed under the contract until those solutions are included in the SEWP database of record and available to all Government end users.
- Request for Information (RFI). As part of market research, Norseman may provide items not yet listed on its SEWP contract, provided all such items are clearly marked as not yet available and a technology refreshment request is submitted to add them.
- Request for Quote (RFQ) or Market Research Request (MRR). Norseman may respond only with items available on its contract, at a price no greater than the price in the SEWP database of record at the time the quote is issued.
- Quote validity. Every quote states the length of time it remains valid, and Norseman honors any order submitted within that period.
Unless an RFQ specifically allows partial quotes, a contract holder must respond fully to all requirements specified in the RFQ, or submit a No Bid where it lacks sufficient items on contract.
Installation, Warranty, and Post-Delivery Support
Norseman supports every SEWP VI order after delivery. Direct installation, warranty, technical support, and software support questions to the SEWP Program Manager, who will engage the appropriate engineering or manufacturer resource.
Post-Delivery Support Contact
