SEWP is a government-wide acquisition contract (GWAC) authorized by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and managed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The SEWP acronym stands for Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement. NASA SEWP provides a wide array of Information Technology (IT) products as well as product related services such as installation, implementation, warranty and maintenance, etc. In 2010, the contract offered more than 1.3 million products from more than 3000 manufacturers.〔http://www.sewp.nasa.gov〕 NASA SEWP was the first GWAC in the Federal Acquisition arena and the original contract was awarded in 1993. SEWP II was award in '96, SEWP III in '01 and SEWP IV in May '07.〔http://www.washingtontechnology.com〕 When SEWP I was awarded, the acronym represented Scientific and Engineering Workstation Procurement. At that time the contract provided technical and engineering related IT products but associated services were not included. As IT and the contracts evolved, firm fixed-price services became available through the contracts. Thus, the acronym definition changed in 2007 to Solutions for Enterprise Wide Procurement.〔http://www.washingtontechnology.com〕 All Federal agencies including the Department of Defense (DOD) are able to purchase from NASA SEWP. In Fiscal Year 2009, more than 70 federal agencies purchased IT solutions through the contract vehicle.〔http://www.sewp.nasa.gov〕 Washington Technology rated NASA SEWP as one of nine contracts in the Federal Government that 'Changed How the Government Buys Technology". The article published on July 2, 2009, cited SEWP's Gold Standard in customer service and mentioned that SEWP assists industry as well as government users to ensure that the acquisition process flows smoothly.〔http://www.washingtontechnology.com〕 == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「NASA SEWP」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
