Solutions for Enterprise-Wide ProcurementSEWP
Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP, pronounced 'soup') is NASA's governmentwide IT products GWAC. SEWP V, the version in use through 2026, has more than 140 prime contractors across multiple groups, with a focus on IT hardware (servers, workstations, networking), peripherals, software licenses, cloud solutions, and associated services. SEWP orders are typically competed among all primes or a group subset via short RFQs. SEWP V charges a fee of 0.34% of each order. NASA awarded SEWP VI in 2026: a 10-year vehicle with more than 2,000 contract awards, starting November 1, 2026.
Why it matters to your pipeline
For IT hardware and software resellers, a SEWP prime position is a major channel into federal IT buying. SEWP competitions are rare, so the 2026 SEWP VI awards set who holds a prime position for the next decade. SEWP orders move fast, often with only a few days to answer an RFQ, which rewards firms with pre-built pricing templates, OEM relationships, and quick internal approvals.
When this term shows up in an opening GovSmith finds for you, your vCM explains what it means for that pursuit and does whatever it calls for. You decide; we do the work.
Example
