NOBLE is Awarded a Spot on the NASA SEWP VI Contract for Federal IT Solutions.
On June 22, 2026, NASA announced its SEWP VI awards, and NOBLE was named an awardee in Category A (IT Solutions), which includes IT communications, audio-visual products, and cloud-based integration services.
SEWP VI is one of the most anticipated government-wide acquisition contracts (GWACs). As a 10-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) vehicle, it has a $60 billion ceiling for federal IT and cybersecurity needs. The 10-year ordering window for SEWP VI begins on November 1, 2026, and runs through October 31, 2036. Federal agencies can begin placing task orders and Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) on November 1, 2026.
The Core Purpose of SEWP VI
SEWP VI provides federal agencies with a fast, legally compliant, and cost-effective method to buy commercial Information Technology, Communications, and Audio-Visual (ITC/AV) solutions.
It achieves this core mission through three pillars:
1. Maximizing Speed and Efficiency
Traditional federal procurement can take six months to a year to award a major IT contract. The NASA SEWP Program Management Office (PMO) guarantees a one-business-day turnaround for reviewing agency RFQs, verifying line items, and routing purchase orders to vendors.
2. Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM)
The SEWP PMO tracks and vets the global supply chains for every item listed in the catalog, to help federal agencies reduce the risk of counterfeits or malware while meeting federal cybersecurity standards.
3. Low Fees and Centralized Financial Stewardship
SEWP funds its infrastructure through a small 0.34% surcharge. This low operating cost supports a highly automated, transparent e-commerce tracking system.
NOBLE Expands its Capabilities with the SEWP VI Award
For NOBLE, placement on the SEWP VI IT vehicle represents continued expansion of its C5ISR capabilities. Having built a multi-billion-dollar portfolio serving the Department of Defense, Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), General Services Administration (GSA), Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP), and other government agencies, NOBLE is proud to offer an additional range of Information Technology products in its awarded category to federal agencies through the NASA SEWP award.
Products & Services Included in SEWP VI, Category A
Category A (IT Solutions) is the primary vehicle for Information Technology, Communication, and Audio-Visual (ITC/AV) commercial products. It focuses on hardware, software, and product-based services.
The scope of Category A spans nine technical areas:
- IT Computer Systems: Desktops, laptops, high-performance servers, tablets, and computing facilities.
- IT Storage Systems: Mass storage devices, network-attached storage, and database servers.
- Networking & Communication: Routers, modems, VOIP systems, network appliances, and telecommunication devices.
- Imaging Equipment: Printers, scanners, copiers, multi-functional units, and associated accessories.
- IT Power & Cabling Equipment: Network facilities infrastructure, power supplies, surge protection, and cabling equipment.
- A/V Equipment: Conferencing setups, display monitors, TVs, projectors, and visualization solutions.
- Security & Sensor Equipment: Digital security systems, cybersecurity tools, surveillance technology, and automated sensors.
- Software & Cloud Technology: Virtualization tools, commercial software licenses, and cloud-based "as-a-service" (XaaS) technologies.
- Product-Based Services: Ancillary services explicitly tied to hardware or software purchase, including maintenance/warranties, site planning, installations, and training.
The Ordering Process for Agencies
Federal agencies use a streamlined, structured three-step order process managed through the NASA SEWP Program Management Office (PMO).
1. Agencies Use the SEWP Online RFI/RFQ Tool
The buying agency uses the official SEWP Online RFI/RFQ Tool. This web-based platform automatically targets contract holders within specialized small or large business groups based on the agency's parameters. After evaluating the bids, the Contracting Officer (CO) determines the "Best Value" option and builds a formal federal Delivery Order (DO). This order lists the SEWP Contract Number, line items, a valid contractor quote, and the total dollar amount.
2. Order Submission & Validation
Instead of sending the purchase order directly to the vendor, the Contracting Officer (CO) routes the completed package to the NASA SEWP PMO, where the PMO reviews the order for contract compliance, verifies pricing, and confirms the line items.
Once validated, typically in less than one business day, the PMO attaches a unique SEWP Tracking Number (STN) and routes the order to the contractor. The PMO also tracks the 0.34% SEWP surcharge, which is included in the vendor's quoted price.
3. Order Fulfillment & Invoicing
The prime contractor (such as NOBLE) receives the authorized STN packet from NASA. Work, shipping, or software distribution begins after this PMO delivery. The vendor delivers the requested ITC/AV hardware or service and invoices the ordering agency directly.
BPAs Streamline Repeat Purchasing Under SEWP VI
The introduction of Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) changes the process of recurring ordering. Historically, federal agencies had to use GSA Schedules or conduct separate, repetitive mini competitions for every delivery order on SEWP. With BPAs integrated into the platform, agencies can establish structured, long-term charge accounts directly with selected vendors. This simplifies repeat purchasing for agencies.
Previously, agencies had to solicit bids from multiple contract holders for each repeat purchase. With BPAs, a single upfront competition establishes an agreement, allowing agencies to place follow-on orders with selected vendors without additional competition.
Agencies can create standardized, agency-specific catalogs of hardware and software configurations, and because compliance and cybersecurity terms are negotiated up front at the BPA level, follow-on orders are processed more quickly.
Authorized agency staff can also use a streamlined e-commerce portal to execute micro-purchases directly under the BPA. Additionally, a headquarters division can establish an agency-wide BPA, allowing regional offices or sub-agencies to buy from the same pre-negotiated IT portfolio.
