SEWP VI at a glance
NASA’s SEWP VI program gives federal agencies and approved support contractors a streamlined way to buy information technology, communications, and audiovisual products and related solutions. The program began in 1993 and has grown as agencies’ technology needs have changed. A 0.34% surcharge funds SEWP program operations, which support more than 50,000 federal orders each year.
