Contractors will be provided a fair opportunity at the individual order level, as appropriate under FAR Part 16.505(b), including the SEWP RFQ tools. No documentation for the order selection is required to be submitted with the order. All such documentation is to be maintained by the issuing procurement office.
The Contractor shall not market, quote, or otherwise offer for sale any IT solutions not listed under this contract until those solutions are included in the SEWP database of record and made available to all Government end-users.
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, provided those items are clearly identified as not yet available on the SEWP contract and a technology refreshment request is submitted to add those products to the contract.
If the Government issues a Request for Quote (RFQ) or Market Research Request (MRR), the Contractor may respond only with items available on its contract. Pricing shall not exceed the price listed in the SEWP database of record at the time the quote is issued. If the Contractor cannot fully respond to the formal RFQ, the Contractor must respond with a No Bid unless partial quotes are specifically permitted.
