About NASA SEWP
NASA SEWP (Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement, pronounced "soup") is a multi-award Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) run by the NASA SEWP Program Office. It gives every federal agency, and their approved support contractors, a fast path to Information Technology, Communications, and Audio-Visual (ITC/AV) products, solutions, and services.
The program is self-funded through a 0.34% fee built into Contract Holder pricing. The SEWP Program Office reviews every order before work begins.
