Contract Details

Products

Group / Catalog A

The Computer Systems/Server group of systems and services will be used to provide systems that shall be scalable and applied to meet a wide range of computer and data-intensive requirements. The requirements include computeintensive traditional optimized applications such as modeling, and mathematical analysis. Applications include, but are not limited to, atmospheric and oceanographic modeling, ocean color or crustal dynamics studies, ozone and seaice mapping, radio astronomy, high-energy astrophysics applications, flight dynamics computations, and fluid flow dynamic process modeling. These systems may need Infiniband network interconnects to achieve the very highest performance. These systems may be used in the configuration of highly virtualized arrays of servers, connected together in a super-computer configuration or managed selectively.

The critical features of this Group are high compute capability, scalability (potentially from a single rack to multiple racks to a series of containers) fast primary storage and network communications, and large data storage capability. 128-bit arithmetic may be needed to support these requirements. This group of system will most likely reside away from the user’s work area and be accessed primarily over the network.

This Group will include hardware systems and peripherals, software and software licenses, and hardware and software maintenance services including analyst support.

Group / Catalog C

This group includes Input and Output peripherals and other equipment that support and complement the full implementation of computer systems. These items may be purchased by the Government separately from the computer systems but rely on standards and standard interfaces to ensure interoperability with existing computer systems. Included in this group are display terminals and systems and other low-end client systems to allow user connectivity to a full range of computer systems; scanners to allow inputting of information from hard-copy forms; input devices such as sensors directly connected to computer monitoring systems; mobile systems and smart phones to allow mobile access to individual’s computing needs.

This group also includes Multi-functional devices (MFD) which are single devices that serve several functions, including printing, scanning, faxing and photocopying.

Fair Opportunity When Using SEWP Contracts

SEWP V is composed of 197 Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts to over 140 pre-competed Prime Contract Holders, both manufacturers and resellers of IT equipment. The contracts were awarded in 5 contract Groups - 2 full and open and 3 set-aside competitions. Since all awards were multi-award contracts, Fair Opportunity (refer to FAR 16.505(b)) must be given to all contractors in one or more Groups or set-asides.

The SEWP website provides the only SEWP recommended tools for manufacturer searches Market Research Tool and for Request for Information/Request for Quotes (RFI/RFQ) (Quote Request Tool). These tools are available to assist customers with buying decisions and as one means to provide documentation for any needed selection criteria. The following steps may assist customers in determining which contract best fulfills their requirements:

1. Market Research: According to Federal Acquisition Regulations, (FAR) Part 10, appropriate market research based on the size and complexity of the acquisition is required. The online Market Research Tool and Quote Request Tool SEWP tools assist in this market research process.
   
   
2. Fair Opportunity: FAR 16.505(b) (1) provides that each contractor shall be given fair opportunity to be considered for each order exceeding $10,000 and issued under multiple award contracts. The FAR states that the method to obtain fair opportunity is at the discretion of the CO and that the CO must document the rationale for placement and price of each order. Using the SEWP online Quote Request Tool is the recommended method to assist in this activity and to augment the required decision documentation. The SEWP QRT tool will automatically include the Contract Holders within a selected Group or based on a suggested source.
   
   NOTE: Fair Opportunity to all Contract Holders within one or more SEWP Groups or set-asides is required. There is no requirement to obtain 3 quotes as long as all Contract Holders within a Group or set-aside were provided opportunity to provide a quote.
   
   
3. Best Value: Once market research is completed, the end-user's needs, technical requirements, Contract Holder program performance, price, Agency policy and other factors related to the exercise of sound business judgment should be considered in making a best value determination.
