Fair Opportunity

SEWP VI is a multi-award government-wide acquisition contract. Ordering offices give holders a fair opportunity under FAR 16.505(b). The text below is Section A.1.13 of the SEWP VI contract.

A.1.13 Fair Opportunity and Requests for Quotes

Contractors will be provided a fair opportunity at the individual order level as appropriate per FAR Part 16.505(b), including the SEWP RFQ tools. No documentation for the order selection is required to be submitted with the order. All such documentation is to be maintained by the issuing procurement office.

The Contractor shall not market, quote or otherwise offer for sale, any IT Solutions not listed under this contract, until the said solutions are included in the SEWP database of record, and available to all Government end-users.

If the Government issues a Request For Information (RFI) as part of market research, the Contractor may provide items not yet listed on their SEWP contract as part of a market research quote if:

1. all such items are clearly marked as not yet available on their SEWP contract; and
2. the contractor submits a technology refreshment request to add those products to their contract

If the Government issues a Request for Quote (RFQ) or a Market Research Request (MRR), the Contractor may only respond with items available on their Contract, and the price of each item shall be no greater than the price in the Attachment F SEWP database of record at the time the quote is issued. If the Contractor has insufficient items on their contract to fully respond to the Formal RFQ, the Contractor must respond with a No Bid. Unless the RFQ specifically allows for partial quotes, the Contractor must respond fully to all requirements specified in the RFQ.

When submitting a quote to a government end-user, the contractor must clearly state the length of time the quote is valid. The contractor shall honor any order submitted within the stated time period of a quote.

When responding to an RFI or RFQ issued from the NASA SEWP RFQ on-line quoting system, the Contractor must respond as outlined in Attachment C: Contract Holder User Manual (CHUM).

Contract Holders are prohibited from using Government information posted on the NASA SEWP Contract Holder Only Page, such as RFQs, RFIs, etc., for purposes other than proposing on SEWP requirements. This includes Contract Holders providing third parties with SEWP information and requirements for the purpose of assisting companies, that are not SEWP Contract Holders, with providing unsolicited proposals to meet agency requirements already posted to the NASA SEWP RFQ on-line quoting system.

How to obtain a quote

Use the NASA SEWP quote tools at www.sewp.nasa.gov. That is the recommended way to give holders a fair opportunity and to keep the selection record with the ordering office.

• Submit the requirement in the SEWP quote-request tool so the appropriate holders in the group or set-aside can respond.
• Or email Garth White at garth.white@blackwatchintel.com or Jeffrey Offutt at JOffutt@blackwatchintel.com, or call 703-478-4477. If you do not use the SEWP tools, the contracting officer remains responsible for fair opportunity under FAR 16.505(b).
• Tell Blackwatch what you need, where it must be delivered or performed, when you need it, and how long the quote must remain valid.
• Blackwatch will identify anything that is not yet on the contract, will not exceed the SEWP database price, and will state the quote’s validity period on the quote.
