SEWP in a Nutshell IDIQ Contract Vehicle for purchase of IT and AV Product Solutions and related Technologies and Services Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) Available to all Federal Government Agencies All Federal Agencies have utilized SEWP Available to Authorized Federal Contractors SEWP IV ends April 30, 2014 SEWP V Draft RFP released

Product Solution Availability SEWP is ‘Catalog by Request’ not ‘Request by Catalog’ Quote Request tool available on-line No traditional searchable catalog Quotes are verified against contract catalog Dynamic Catalog Items added to contract based on customer requests Contract Holder requests to add products are reviewed and either approved or denied within 2 to 4 hours On-line contract database of record

Products in Scope IT Hardware: Computers / Accessories Tablets, Laptops, Embedded Systems, Desktops, Servers, Supercomputers Software and Virtualization: Commercial software packages of any variety Software As A Service Cloud Computing Virtual Storage Peripherals and Associated Equipment: Printers / Fax / Supplies Monitors, Keyboards, Cables, etc. Computer Carts, Racks and Enclosures

Products in Scope (continued) Networks / Communications/ Security Network Appliances/Connectivity: Routers, Modems, Wireless Telecommunication Devices Control and Authentication Devices / Security Appliances / Surveillance Systems Storage Backup and Recovery, Disk Systems, Network Based Storage DVD, CD, Tape and Digital Systems Storage Accessories Audio Visual / Conferencing Cameras, Display Monitors, TV, Projectors and Screens Video and Tele-conferencing Speakers, Microphones, Theater and Music Systems, Lighting

Services in Scope (No Limitation) Services below have no limitation: > Do not need to be associated with a product purchase > Can be any dollar amount Maintenance / Warranty Can be on–site if clearly maintenance functions Site Planning Installation: Hardware / Cabling / Software / etc. Product Training

Scope: Services Limited in Scope This pertains to Competed Contract Holder Groups A, B, C and D The following cannot exceed 10% of a delivery order total dollar amount: Software Development On-site Operational Labor, On-site Engineers Consulting (unless part of in scope services) Staff Augmentation Other Options: GSA Alliant, NIH CIO-SP or other support service contracts Group E non-competed 8(a) set-asides (limited in size)

Statements of Work (SOW) sow@sewp.nasa.gov 4 Types of Submissions Product Bundle* Maintenance Bundle* Items to be Covered , Period of Performance, Terms of Service Labor – 10% rule applies (Installation is without limit) Include Labor Category, Labor Rate, Number of Hours, and Statement of Work Combination of any of the 2 or more above Submission should include RFQ number if available Must be approved first before adding to TR Set Back up data Flag to include ticket number – i.e., 15028 – “XXXXX” *All Bundles submissions should include all CLINS included in the bundle

Technology Refresh (TR) trtest@sewp.nasa.gov Daily Allowance 1 Regular TR 2 Catalog TRs – 5,000 CLIN Maximum CLIN list from Manufacturer (i.e. Cisco, Nett App, Oracle, etc.) Manufacturer part number must be the OEM part number without alteration CTOs / BTOs must have the OEM base part number Must provide adequate description for all CLINs

Never in Scope – SEWP IV Just because it has a chip, it is not always IT Medical Equipment Military Equipment Buildings Wheels / Engines / Propellers Fire Suppression (unless self-contained) Sensors: Smoke / Gunshot / etc. Office Furniture: Chairs / Desks / etc.

Determination of SEWP Groups SEWP IV Contract Awards based on Distinct Competition Areas Scope is the same for all contracts Group A Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and Value Added Resellers (VAR) Full and Open Competition Group B Value Added Resellers (VAR) Service Disabled Veteran-Owned (SDVOSB) Set-Aside Competition Group C Small Business Set-Aside Competition Group D Primarily Value Added Resellers (VAR)

Fair Opportunity Fair Opportunity MUST BE provided within a Group Opportunity may be provided across multiple Groups Fair Opportunity Applies to any Multi-award Contract FAR 16.505(b) Process for Fair Opportunity (per FAR) is at CO’s Discretion Does not apply: Orders under $3000 Group E Contracts SEWP Web Tools Provide Assistance Locate manufacturers on contract: SEWP Manufacturer Lookup Tool Provide Fair Opportunity: SEWP Quote Request tool is the only RECOMMENDED method What is fair opportunity? The FAR states that Fair Opportunity occurs when a CO does when each contractor is given a fair opportunity to be considered for each order exceeding $2,500 issued under multiple delivery-order contracts. FAR 16.505 (b)(1). How do you do that? How an agency meets this requirement is normally set by internal policy. We see many interpretations of Fair Opportunity, including following competition procedures. You have to follow what your agency dictates and document your file accordingly. We have developed On-line tools to help with the Fair Opportunity process. Searching for manufacturer list and part number will help narrow the field but RFQ is key tool. The SEWP RFQ tool will automatically include the vendors within a selected class in the RFQ / Search process. The search capability provides a summary comparison of the requirements based on part numbers. The RFQ tool will e-mail an RFQ to the vendors with various options for a reply. In conclusion, there are many ways to determine that the fair opportunity requirements have been met: quotes, product searches, etc. What is important is to follow your agency procedures, or set up your own process, document and follow your process. *************************************** 13

Business Size Designations NAICS Codes and business sizes are defined at the contract level Group A: NAICS Code 334111 - 6 Other Than Small Contract Holders - 2 Small Business Contract Holders - 1 SDVOSB Contract Holder Group B: NAICS Code 541519 - 5 SDVOSB Contract Holders - 1 Other Than Small Contract Holder (rerepresentation) Group C: NAICS Code 541519 - 9 Small Business Contract Holders - 3 Other Than Small Contract Holders (rerepresentation) Group D: NAICS Code 541519 - 14 Other Than Small Contract Holders - 1 Small Business Contract Holder 14
