SEWP Ordering Process

General Ordering Process:

The internal ordering process of each agency varies. The process and accompanying forms for PR's and DO's that are issued against a SEWP contract is defined by the issuing agency and not the NASA SEWP BOWL. The typical process, however, is for an end-user to determine a requirement and generate a purchase request (PR). The PR along with any necessary funding information is sent to that Agency's procurement office which results in the issuance of a delivery order (DO). Any valid Federal Agency DO form and the associated delivery order number may be used. TheNASA SEWP BOWL does not issue DO's -these must be issued through the issuing Agency's procurement office. The SEWP BOWL reviews, processes andtracks issued DOs and forwards them to the Contract Holder(s).

Some agencies have special requirements for issuing IT Delivery Orders. It is the Issuing Agency's Contracting Officers' (COs/KOs) responsibility to be aware of any agency-specific policies regarding issuing orders via an existing contract vehicle and Government Wide Acquisition Contracts. There are no requirements under the SEWP Contracts for issuing agencies to use other intermediary procurement offices, except as directed through their own internal policies.

Regardless of Agency-specific Ordering processes, the general flow for SEWP orders is:

If modifications are made to any order, these modifications must also route through the SEWP BOWL.
