NASA implements many different missions and projects to meet a wide range of requirements.  In addition, other Government agencies will utilize any resultant contract if they determine the available solutions and services meet their technical requirements and represent the Best Value to that organization.  As such it is intended that deliverables under this contract may be utilized by: Government civil servants, Government on-site (or nearsite) contractors, Government off-site contractors, Principal investigators, or Universities through grants or cooperative agreements and Government-Owner Contractor-Operated (GOCO) organizations. Deliverables under the contract are not limited to NASA-specific requirements, and any such deliverable will be available for NASA and any other federal government agency usage.  While SEWP Contractors are required to provide continental United States rate (CONUS) for delivery, Federal Agencies with outside continental United States rate (OCONUS) locations may utilize the SEWP contracts based on mutually agreed upon delivery arrangements. 

The focus of SEWP is on the full suite of technology offerings that simplify Governmental access and Industry offerings across the entire Information Technology, Communication and AV (ITC/AV) solutions and services landscape. SEWP VI is composed of 3 categories.  From a product solutions-based perspective, Category A will consist of the full range of ITC/AV Solutions such as hardware and software products, including cloud-based solutions, installation, integration, testing, training, maintenance, and other product-based services.
