The SEWP V Business Operations & Workstation Laboratory (BOWL) manages the SEWP V program, and applies a small administration surcharge (0.34%) on all contract orders. SEWP V administration surcharge shall not be shown separately and must be included as part of the item pricing.

The recommended method is using the SEWP Quote Request Tool (QRT) available on the SEWP Website (sewp.nasa.gov). Use of this tool assists in providing and documenting Fair Opportunity and verifying and assuring items quoted are on the contract and properly priced. All SEWP quotes and orders MUST go through the SEWP Bowl.

Fair Opportunity: FAR 16.505(b)

Fair Opportunity: FAR 16.505(b) (1) provides that each contractor shall be given fair opportunity to be considered for each order exceeding $3,000 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. The SEWP online RFI/RFQ tool is the recommended method to assist in this activity and to augment the required decision documentation. The SEWP RFI/RFQ tool will automatically include the Contract Holders within a selected Group or based on a suggested source.
