Inspired Solutions has been awarded NASA SEWP VI on Category A, information technology (IT) products, and Category C, IT services. That makes Inspired Solutions a SEWP VI contract holder on both sides of the vehicle. Products and the people to implement them. One contract, held directly.
Your agency needs a SEWP VI Category A vendor for hardware and software. Inspired Solutions is on that list. Your agency needs a SEWP VI Category C vendor for integration and support. Inspired Solutions is on that list too.
What SEWP VI Is
SEWP stands for Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement. SEWP VI is NASA's sixth-generation Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC), a $60 billion vehicle for information technology, communications, and audio-visual purchases. Any federal agency, civilian or defense, can order off it. No separate open procurement required.
SEWP has run this way for three decades because it works. Orders move fast. Fees run low, historically in the 0.34 to 0.36 percent range. Every holder is pre-competed, so a contracting officer buying through SEWP VI has already cleared the vendor vetting step before the order starts.
SEWP VI covers a 10-year period of performance. SEWP V remains active while NASA completes SEWP VI onboarding, and ordering on SEWP VI is expected to open around November 1, 2026.
What Category A and Category C Cover
SEWP VI splits into three categories. Inspired Solutions holds two of them, in the 8(a) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) small business set-aside lanes.
Category A covers IT products and solutions: hardware, software, and product-based technology packages. This is where an agency buys the servers, network gear, endpoints, and licenses.
Category C covers IT services: systems integration, software development, help desk support, network administration, training, and maintenance. This is where an agency buys the people who stand up what Category A delivered and keep it running. Inspired Solutions' Category C award carries contract number 80TECH26D0142.
Why Being a SEWP VI Contract Holder on Both Categories Matters to Federal Buyers
A federal program office named first: you should not need two vendors and two contracts to buy one solution. Most agencies do exactly that today: one contractor for the equipment and a different one for the labor to install and support it. Every extra contract adds a procurement cycle, a second point of failure, and a second invoice to reconcile.
Inspired Solutions removes that split. An agency can order the technology and the implementation team on the same SEWP VI contract, from one contractor accountable for both. No middleman. No second vehicle to negotiate. That is the benefit of holding Category A and Category C together.
What This Means for Teaming Partners
Partners and primes named first: your team gets a SEWP VI-ready subcontractor that already carries the certifications a lot of set-aside requirements demand. Inspired Solutions holds SBA 8(a) status (awarded July 25, 2021, active through July 25, 2030), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business certification, and Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) and Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) certifications. Stack that with an existing GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract, 47QTCA22D00DQ, and Inspired Solutions gives a prime multiple paths to the same customer.
If your firm is planning a SEWP VI Category A or Category C bid, you need a teaming partner who can carry set-aside credit and deliver. Have that conversation now, ahead of the November ordering window, not after it opens.
