NASA SEWP VI Is Awarded. Ordering Opens November 1, 2026
Where the $60B vehicle stands, what the final amendment changed, and what task-order competition looks like across nearly 1,500 vendors.
NASA SEWP VI (Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement, solicitation 80TECH24R0001) is the sixth generation of the governmentwide acquisition contract NASA runs on behalf of the entire federal government. It covers commercial IT, communications and audio-visual products, cloud and cybersecurity, engineering and consulting services, and data-intensive mission support. SEWP VI is materially different from SEWP V: it splits into three categories, leans harder into services, widens the NAICS footprint for small business, and supports firm-fixed-price, time and material, labor-hour, fixed price award fee and fixed price incentive fee task orders at the order level. After eleven amendments, a February 2025 proposal deadline and sixteen months of evaluation, NASA began processing awards in June 2026.

What happened, and when
Rows in purple below are still ahead. For anything more recent, check official sources.
The three categories, and where the awards landed
SEWP V had roughly 197 awards across about 140 companies. SEWP VI is more than ten times larger by vendor count, and the weight has shifted decisively toward services.
A field of nearly 1,500 vendors means the competition moved from the vehicle to the task order. Whether you won a seat or you are planning around one, the differentiator from November onward is how fast and how cleanly you can respond.
What the final amendment changed
Amendment 11 landed on January 17, 2025 and closed the solicitation out. If you are reconstructing your bid history or preparing a debrief, these are the moving parts.
Our SEWP VI asset library includes a paragraph-level comparison between Amendment 11 and Amendment 8: 609 paragraph changes between those versions, with no changes appearing in Amendment 9.

How VisibleThread helps from here
Winning a seat on SEWP VI was the easy part relative to what comes next. From November, task orders start flowing against a field of nearly 1,500 vendors, on a vehicle with three categories, five task order types and a statement of work that most teams have not touched since February 2025.
VisibleThread reads and shreds complex solicitations, SEWP VI task orders, Alliant 3, OASIS+ and beyond, into structured compliance matrices in minutes rather than days, so your team spends its time on win themes instead of re-reading RFP sections for the fifth time. It compares amendments paragraph by paragraph, so a revision like Amendment 11 takes an afternoon instead of a week. It is deterministic, explainable AI, so in a compliance-driven environment like this one, you are not trusting a black box for what the government actually asked for.
Teams working SEWP VI use the platform for requirements gap analysis, quality assessments, customer language adherence and risk assessments, and lean on it for Gold Team and White Glove reviews when the clock is tight.

See it in action: the SEWP VI RFP, shredded
We took NASA SEWP 80TECH24R0001 Amendment 08 and ran it through VisibleThread’s Simple Shred with the contract terms dictionary applied. Start to finish, from opening the solicitation to a fully categorized shred, took minutes.
The output: 143 sections surfaced and 970 individual risk terms flagged automatically, broken out by dictionary category:
That is 970 places a reviewer would otherwise have had to catch by eye, surfaced automatically, split by paragraph or sentence, and ready for compliance review with the source PDF side by side. The same run against a SEWP VI task order takes the same few minutes.

Is GSA taking over SEWP VI?
GSA has been in discussions with NASA and OMB about assuming management of SEWP VI as part of broader federal procurement consolidation. NASA is completing the awards and stand-up first, and nothing has been finalised publicly. This page will be updated if that changes.
I won a SEWP VI award. What should I do before November?
Use the runway to get task-order ready: build a reusable compliance and content library, tighten your past performance narratives, and make sure your team can turn a task order RFP into a compliance matrix in hours rather than days. Competition on SEWP VI task orders runs across nearly 1,500 vendors.
