Requests for Information and Requests for Quote
 

If the Government issues a Request for Information (RFI) as part of market research, the Contractor may provide items not yet listed on its SEWP contract as part of a market research quote if:

• All such items are clearly marked as not yet available on the Contractor's SEWP contract; and

• The Contractor submits a Technology Refreshment request to add those products to its contract.
   

If the Government issues a Request for Quote (RFQ) or Market Research Request (MRR), the Contractor may only respond with items available on its contract.
 

If the Contractor has insufficient items on its contract to fully respond to a Formal RFQ, the Contractor must respond with a No Bid.
 

Unless the RFQ specifically allows partial quotes, the Contractor must respond fully to all requirements specified in the RFQ.
 

When the Contractor markets, quotes, or otherwise offers for sale a product under this contract, the price of each item shall be no greater than the price in the SEWP VI database of record at the time the quote is issued.
 

When submitting a quote to a Government end-user, the Contractor must clearly state the length of time the quote is valid. The Contractor shall honor any order submitted within the stated validity period.

When responding to an RFI or RFQ issued from the NASA SEWP RFQ online quoting system, the Contractor must respond as outlined in
Attachment C: Contract Holder User Manual (CHUM).

Contract Holders are prohibited from using Government information posted on the NASA SEWP Contract Holder Only Page, such as RFQs, RFIs, etc., for purposes other than proposing on SEWP requirements.

This includes Contract Holders providing third parties with SEWP information and requirements for the purpose of assisting companies that are not SEWP Contract Holders with providing unsolicited proposals to meet agency requirements already posted to the NASA SEWP RFQ online quoting system.
