While the ordering period does not officially begin until November 1, 2026, now is the time for both contractors and technology providers to understand what SEWP VI is, how it differs from SEWP V, and how they might be able to get involved. If your company is looking for ways to participate in the upcoming vehicle, this blog covers what you need to know. ## **What Is NASA SEWP VI?** NASA SEWP VI, which is short for Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement VI, is a [Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC)](https://info.winvale.com/blog/what-is-gwac) managed by NASA that provides federal agencies with a streamlined way to purchase commercial Information Technology, Communications (ITC), Audio/Visual (AV), cloud, cybersecurity, and related professional services. We throw out the term GWAC because although the vehicle says “NASA” in the title, it’s government-wide and available for use across all federal agencies. Each SEWP VI contract has a 10-year ordering period running from November 1, 2026, through October 31, 2036, with a maximum individual contract value of $20 billion, providing agencies with a long-term acquisition solution for evolving technology needs. ## **Who Can Purchase Through NASA SEWP VI?** Like we mentioned above, although NASA manages SEWP VI, the contract is not limited to NASA purchases. SEWP VI is available to all federal agencies, including civilian agencies, the Department of Defense (DoD), and other authorized federal organizations. Examples of agencies that frequently used SEWP V include: - Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) - Department of Defense (DoD) - Military branches like Army, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard, Marine Corps - Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ## **NASA SEWP VI Scope** One of the most significant updates in [SEWP VI is its expanded scope to services across the B and C categories.](https://info.winvale.com/blog/-temporary-slug-4bbd079d-209a-43c2-8dfa-9c13823f8873/file:///C:/Users/shagan/Downloads/80TECH24R0001+SEWP+VI+Final+RFP.pdf) We’ll go deeper into the categories below. SEWP VI will allow for multiple contract types including Firm Fixed Price, Time and Material, Labor Hour, Fixed Price Award Fee, Fixed Price Incentive Fee, Fixed Price Economic Price Adjustment, or any hybrid of commercial contract types for orders. The contract will also have [small business set-aside opportunities](https://info.winvale.com/blog/how-small-business-set-asides-work-and-how-you-can-help-shape-them) at the order level for each category. Here’s what you need to know about each of the three categories: ### **Category A: ITC/AV Solutions ** Category A focuses primarily on Information Technology, Communication (ITC) and Audio Visual (AV). The technical areas in this contract include: - IT computer systems/computer facilities - IT Storage Systems - Networking and communication equipment - Imaging equipment and supporting technology - IT power and cabling equipment - Audio/visual equipment - Security and sensor equipment - Software and cloud technology - Product-based services ### **Category B: Enterprise-wide ITC/AV Service Solutions** The Category B scope provides customized Enterprise-Wide Strategic Solutions, defined as a large-scale requirement involving multiple departments, locations, customers, and/or field offices for a given agency. Technical areas in Category B include: - Enterprise-wide network services - IT managed services - IT service management - Enterprise service program integration - Enterprise-wide information and data analytics services - Enterprise-wide application services/software development - Enterprise-wise cybersecurity services - Enterprise-wide cloud services - Program management/ancillary services and supplies ### **Category C: ITC/AV Mission-Based (Information Technology Communication (ITC) and Audio Visual (AV)) Services** Category C includes more specialized professional services that help agencies design, implement, and support mission-critical technology environments. Technical areas in this section include: ## **How Is SEWP VI Different from SEWP V?** While SEWP V has successfully served federal agencies for more than a decade and continues to do so for a few more months, SEWP VI has a few significant changes. Some of the most notable updates are: Overall, SEWP VI reflects the government's increasing demand for integrated technology solutions that combine products, cloud capabilities, cybersecurity, and professional services under a single acquisition vehicle. ![](https://info.winvale.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Jul-17-2026-05-58-25-3458-PM.png?width=698&height=404&name=undefined-Jul-17-2026-05-58-25-3458-PM.png) ## **What Does SEWP VI Mean for Companies That Didn't Receive an Award?** If you’re reading this and wondering if you missed out on a prime opportunity, receiving a prime contract award is not the only way to participate in SEWP VI. Many manufacturers, software publishers, and technology providers can sell through SEWP by partnering with authorized contract holders. On the bright side, partnering with an existing contract holder can be significantly faster than waiting for the next major contract competition, or for another iteration of SEWP which will be 10+ years. ## **Looking to Be a Part of NASA SEWP VI or Related Contract Vehicles?** Now that we are officially in Q4 of the federal government, meaning agencies are rushing to spend up the remainder of their budgets, and we are seeing initial contract awards for vehicles such as NASA SEWP VI and [OASIS+](https://info.winvale.com/blog/how-oasis-fits-future-federal-contracting), it’s a great time to see how your company can take advantage of these opportunities. [Winvale was recently awarded a spot on NASA SEWP VI](https://winvale.com/winvale-awarded-nasa-sewp-vi-contract-technology-products/) under Category A, and our Public Sector Team at Winvale is currently working with qualified manufacturers and technology providers to explore reseller opportunities through SEWP VI.
