Special Report: SEWP

By Jeff Erlichman

SEWP is divided into five Groups of contracts. Groups A, B, C and D were awarded through a Competitive process with the Group B competition set-aside for SDVOSB (Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses) and Group C competition set-aside for Small Business. Group E consists of non-Competed 8(a) set-aside contracts. Note that each Competed Group has the same scope which provides overlap among all Contracts and Groups.

At a minimum, to provide Fair Opportunity as required by FAR Part 16, all Contract Holders within any one individual Group must be provided Opportunity (the SEWP On-line RFQ and Search tools automatically provide the Fair Opportunity groupings when selecting Contract Holders). For maximum competition one, two, three or all four Groups can be selected.
