SEWP VI CONTRACT – Category A – ITC/AV Solutions (Information Technology, Communications and Audio Visual)
NASA/Information Technology Procurement Office – Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement
ACQUISITION OBJECTIVES
1. To have hardware and software solutions and services available to address an increasingly difficult, complex, and changing set of NASA-specific scientific and engineering problems while also providing Information Technology, Communication (and AV (ITC/AV) product-based solutions and/or services to assist all Federal Agencies in meeting their ITC/AV needs.
2. To provide a suite of ITC/AV services to assist the Government in maximizing the ITC/AV infrastructure by leveraging the latest service offerings including cloud services, managed and shared services, consulting, training and support, and operational and engineering services.
3. To provide the federal government with a wide range of ITC/AV hardware, communications, audio-visual and related hardware, software, and ITC/AV services to enhance the federal government’s Information Technology capabilities.
4. To embrace and facilitate innovative procurement transactions and processes that will place a minimal administrative burden on the customer, contractor, and the Government while minimizing incompatibilities and maximizing strategic decision-making across the ITC/AV infrastructure.
The first three objectives relate directly to the unique nature of SEWP in service of the Government’s core competencies – the need to have ITC/AV solutions which are based on the latest technology, portability, and interoperability along with the tools and services that will interconnect and maximize the usability of those systems.
The fourth objective relates to the Procurement expertise that NASA SEWP brings to any size acquisition in combination with the ITC/AV technical expertise needed to develop, test, and utilize new processes for automating the entire procurement process. The web-based toolsets are the most visible aspect of SEWP’s expertise in this area. Once the contracts are awarded, a set of online tools is available to both the Contract Holders to manage company specific information, and the Government customer to query the database of record for product and pricing information, conduct Market Research, and submit Requests for Quotes.
Overall, this effort will provide the Government with hardware, software, and audio-visual solutions and services that represent the best overall value to the Government in fulfilling its mission. Furthermore, this effort will minimize the Government’s administrative costs, and provide the ability to fulfill our users’ needs in a timely manner.
Because the technology requirements depend on interoperability and standards, combined with the broad base of commonality among requirements, functions, and available COTS solutions, it is assumed that overlap will exist between contracts and across categories. Additionally, any overlap will ensure that end-users will have access to appropriate and complete solutions to meet their varied requirements. Therefore, no single contract will have exclusive rights to provide any given technology or service, nor will end-users be confined in the choice of contracts they utilize. The end-users decisions will be based on a Best Value and Fair Opportunity determination as required in FAR 16.505(b).
