There is no requirement to obtain 3 quotes as long as all Contract Holders within a Group were provided opportunity to provide a quote. NOTE: Fair Opportunity to all Contract Holders within one or more SEWP Groups is required. The SEWP RFI/RFQ tool will automatically include the Contract Holders within a selected Group or based on a suggested source. The SEWP online RFI/RFQ tool is the recommended method to assist in this activity and to augment the required decision documentation. 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. 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. SEWP awards are multi-awards contracts and adhere to the Fair Opportunity clause (refer to FAR 16.505(b)).
The statutory authority allowing usage of the SEWP contracts by the entire Federal Government is NASA’s designation as an Executive Agent by OMB based on the Information Technology Management Reform Act (ITMRA) of 1996, now the Clinger Cohen Act.
The NASA SEWP (Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement) GWAC (Government-Wide Acquisition Contract) provides the latest in Information Technology (IT) products and services for all Federal Agencies and their approved contractors.
