SEWP ordering guide

The contractor and the contract

This guide covers delivery orders placed against contract 80TECH26D1074, held by OCH-Sawdey Joint Venture, LLC under NASA SEWP VI. The award is Category C, Group C1, the small business set-aside, under NAICS 541512. The ordering period is ten years from the contract effective date, and an order issued inside that window may be completed up to sixty months past expiration.

OCH-Sawdey is an SBA-approved mentor-protégé joint venture between OCH Technologies, the protégé, and Sawdey Solution Services, the mentor. Both firms are appraised at CMMI Level 3 independently. OCH Technologies delivers systems engineering, software development, cyber security, and program management to federal agencies.

Category C provides customized solutions at the mission or program level across eleven technical areas, spanning application development, cyber security, cloud, network and database services, data analytics, IT operations and help desk support, digital multimedia, training, and program management. Product-only requirements are outside the scope of this category. Where Category C overlaps with Category B on service area, Category C is the one intended for mission-level implementation.

Category C carries a per-order threshold of $2 million inclusive of options during the first year of contract performance and $10 million during the second, subject to removal from the third year onward.

How to obtain a quote

Submit a quote request through the SEWP Quote Request Tool. The SEWP Program Management Office reviews the request and releases it to the contract holders in the relevant category and group, and responses return through the same tool.

To direct a request to this award, reference contract 80TECH26D1074. If your agency uses a mechanism other than the Quote Request Tool because of concerns about transmitting sensitive information, contact us directly and we will respond through whichever channel your contracting office specifies.

Authorized contract types are firm-fixed-price, time-and-materials, labor hour, fixed-price award fee, fixed-price incentive fee, fixed-price with economic price adjustment, and hybrids of commercial contract types. The SEWP fee is included in the quoted price rather than listed as a separate line.

Installation, support, and post-delivery issues

Product-only requirements are outside the scope of Category C, so manufacturer warranty and product return terms do not arise on orders placed against this contract. Installation, technical support, software support, and maintenance are delivered as services and their terms are set by the performance work statement in each order.

Raise any question about work already delivered under an order with the point of contact below. Where a fix requires a change to the scope, schedule, or ceiling of an order, it goes through the ordering contracting officer as a modification.

Troubleshooting an order

Contact us first, with the SEWP order number and the SEWP Contract Number assigned to the order. Order status changes are reported to the SEWP Program Management Office within two business days, so the status shown in the tool should match what we report.

If a problem is not resolved, the SEWP Program Management Office help desk is the government-side escalation path.
