Shay Assad, Director, Defense
Procurement and Acquisition Policy, said in an interview with Government Executive that
when considering Interagency Contracts:
"I have been very clear to our employees that if an interagency provider, such
as NASA's [Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement, or SEWP], or the Interior
Department, or whatever is the most effective way to buy the goods and services,
that's the way to go," Assad said.

Memorandum of Agreement Between DoD and NASA SEWP
|
|
In November 2007,
The Department of Defense (DoD) signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with NASA
regarding the use of the SEWP Contract. The memorandum recognizes the mutual
agreement of the involved parties to work together as Federal partners and to
demonstrate their commitment to achieve compliance with acquisition. In addition,
the MOA establishes a framework for the relationship to support the mission of both
agencies and to improve efficiencies and leverage resources and capabilities.
In particular, the MOA establishes procedures for the use of the SEWP contract
by DoD.

Obtaining Free SEWP Training
|
|
The DoD IG, in collaboration with the NASA IG, recently
completed an audit of DoD procurements made through the NASA SEWP contract. The report
includes recommendations on how DoD can best utilize this acquisition vehicle. The DoD IG recommends the Department
take maximum advantage of the free on-site training offered by NASA and to routinely utilize SEWP's on-line RFQ
tool. The Department concurs with these recommendations.
