Category A — ITC/AV product solutions

Category B — enterprise-wide ITC/AV service solutions

Category C — ITC/AV program/mission-level IT professional services (NAICS 541512)

SBCC proposed under Category C.

A long-runway (anticipated 10-year) governmentwide channel for mission-based IT/AV professional services. SEWP is known for rapid quote turnaround, broad coverage, and very low contract access fees. Under SEWP VI, agencies can order labor-based IT professional services — including our DE&A/analytics and innovation work — directly through the vehicle.

The agency issues an RFQ to the relevant SEWP group; SBCC quotes; the agency awards.

Competitive.

Orders are competed via RFQ among SEWP holders, so holding it gives eligibility to quote, not a directed award.

SBCC is pursuing Category C: IT Communications (ITC) and Audio Visual (AV) Mission-Based Services under SEWP VI (RFP 80TECH24R0001), with proposed coverage across the following technical areas:

·       Innovation Services (1c) — mission-specific continuous improvement (ongoing enhancement of IT service efficiency and effectiveness) and innovation (identifying and implementing new ideas and break-through solutions that add business and/or IT value).

·       Information and Data Analytics Services / IDAS (2c) — a distributed, hybrid team of analysts, data scientists, developers, and technologists providing data science, data modeling, big data and advanced analytics, AI, and ML methods; rapidly prototyping, developing, deploying, and maintaining solutions to the agency's most pressing analytic challenges and improving the use, management, and application of data.

·       Application Services / Software Development (3c) — assessment, planning, design, development, testing, integration, administration, maintenance, operational support, decommission, and documentation for new and existing mission applications across desktop (native), server, web, Cloud-as-a-Service, and mobile environments; including agile development, front- and back-end development, automated testing, CI/CD, API development and documentation, cloud deployment, product management and strategy, and visual design.

·       Cloud Services (5c) — evaluate, recommend, implement, and support adoption of cloud environments (e.g., AWS GovCloud, Azure Government Cloud, Salesforce Government Cloud), cloud services (e.g., AWS, iSite, Snowflake), and service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS); including application integration; cloud governance, security, and compliance; cloud strategy and planning; cloud storage and hosting; and X-as-a-Service (XaaS).

·       Program Management / Ancillary Services and Supplies (11c) — IT services-based solutioning plus integral ancillary support (e.g., clerical, data entry, program management/integration, financial management, logistics, phase-in/transition management, procurement, physical and cyber security management, facilities management, ancillary ITC/AV products, and minor alteration/repair to real property).

The full Category C scope spans 11 technical areas. Beyond those detailed above (1c, 2c, 3c, 5c, 11c), the remaining in-scope technical areas are:

4c — Cybersecurity Services

6c — Digital Multimedia and Technical Communications Services

7c — IT Operations and Maintenance / Help Desk / Call Center Support

8c — Network Services

9c — Database Services

10c — In-Scope Training.

Category C's representative service areas are not all-inclusive — other ITC/AV professional services that adhere to the ITC/AV services definition and encapsulate a mission/program-level solution are also within scope to meet an agency's particular mission needs.

Firm Fixed Price, Time and Material, Labor Hour, Fixed Price Award Fee, Fixed Price Incentive Fee, Fixed Price Economic Price Adjustment, or any hybrid of commercial contract types at the order level — a key SEWP VI change from SEWP V's firm-fixed-price-only model.

A long-runway (anticipated 10-year) governmentwide channel for mission-based IT/AV services — strongest for our DE&A/analytics (IDAS) and innovation work, extended by application development, cloud, and program management/ancillary support wrapped into an IT services solution. Under SEWP VI this is a genuine services channel that complements CEI-RADS/OASIS+/MDA SHIELD.

Competitive — orders are competed via RFQ to holders, so holding the vehicle gives eligibility to quote, not a directed award. Scope is bounded to the Category C technical areas; requirements outside those areas aren't orderable to us. Ancillary support (11c) is only allowable when integral to and necessary for an IT services-based effort, not as standalone work.

the award is anticipated, not yet in place — the contract number, group/category, and PoP remain unconfirmed/anticipated, so confirm award status before using in customer-facing materials.

SEWP VI Category C directly extends the runway for SBCC's two core lines of effort — Digital Engineering & Analytics (DE&A) and Commercial Engagement & Integration (CE&I).

·       DE&A growth (maps to Technical Areas 2c and 5c). Our DE&A work — data science, data modeling, AI/ML methods, dashboards/decision-support tools, and enterprise data architectures built on VAULTIS principles and the DAF data fabric — aligns squarely with IDAS (2c) and Cloud Services (5c). SEWP VI gives this LOE a governmentwide channel beyond AFGSC/AMC, so the same DACC-style analytics and data-modernization offerings can be sold to civil and other DoD customers without standing up a new vehicle.

·       CE&I growth (maps to Technical Areas 1c and 11c). Our CE&I work — technology scouting, due-diligence vetting, problem curation, acquisition analysis, and IPODS-enabled decision support — aligns with Innovation Services (1c) and Program Management/Ancillary Services (11c). SEWP VI lets us package this innovation-integration capability as a mission-based IT service for new agency customers, broadening CE&I beyond its current Air Force footprint.

·       Application development is a stretch, not a current strength. Technical Area 3c (Application Services/Software Development) overlaps with our IPODS platform/software-development experience, but our delivered software work to date is IPODS-specific rather than general-purpose application development. Pursuing 3c broadly would likely require teaming or new hires; treat it as expansion rather than a proven LOE.

Net effect on the growth plan. SEWP VI converts our DE&A and CE&I LOEs from largely single-customer (Air Force, via CEI-RADS) to governmentwide-addressable, lengthening their growth horizon to the anticipated 10-year PoP. Two cautions, however: (1) SEWP orders are competed via RFQ, so this is pipeline capacity, not directed work — each order still requires capture and win; and (2) our strongest past-performance and data rights are tied to the IPODS/SBIR Phase II lineage, so growth is most defensible where new SEWP work stays adjacent to our DE&A/CE&I core rather than chasing the full 11-area Category C scope.
