The contract is open to any government agency.</p> <p>Among several changes, officials are reducing the number of competition groups from 13 in SEWP IV to five in SEWP V. They expect this change to reduce the cost to both industry and the government. SEWP V has a set-aside for small firms located in Historically Underutilized Business Zones. And NASA plans to fully track orders as well. Officials want to provide agencies with detailed information of their buying patterns primarily to assist with strategic sourcing.</p> <p>NASA is also holding an "industry day" on March 11 to allow contractors to ask questions about the procurement vehicle. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130427034629/http://washingtontechnology.com/articles/2013/03/04/sewp-v-industry-day.aspx">Washington Technology reported</a> that more than $9.4 billion in task orders have been awarded under SEWP IV.</p>   <div class="aboutAuthor"> <p id="ctl27_AuthorInfo_AboutAuthor" class="author">About the Author</p> <p> <strong></strong> Matthew Weigelt is a senior writer covering acquisition and procurement. <br/> <a id="ctl27_AuthorInfo_ctrl0_AuthorEmail"></a> </p> </div> </div> </div> <noindex> <div id="ctl29_EmailThis" class="email"> <p><a id="ctl29_Email" href="/web/20130427034629/http://fcw.com/Forms/EmailItem.aspx?EmailItem={FEDA9187-2165-471C-90FA-409AD9DC54CD}">E-Mail this page</a></p> </div> </noindex> <noindex> <div id="ctl31_PrintFormat" class="print"> <p><a id="ctl31_Print" href="/web/20130427034629/http://fcw.com/Articles/2013/03/05/nasa-sewp-v.aspx?p=1" target="_blank">Printable Format</a></p> </div> </noindex> </div> <div id="sContent"> <noindex> <div id="ctl33_pnlSearch" class="search"> <fieldset> <input name="ctl33$txtSearch" type="text" id="ctl33_txtSearch" onfocus="FocusSearchBox('ctl33_txtSearch')" onblur="BlurSearchBox()"/> <select name="ctl33$ddlCollections" id="ctl33_ddlCollections"> <option selected="selected" value="FCW_Web">FCW</option> </select> <input type="submit" name="ctl33$btnSearch" value="Search" id="ctl33_btnSearch" class="submit"/> <p id="ctl33_AdvancedFormLink" class="advanced"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130427034629/http://fcw.com/Forms/Advanced-Search.aspx">Advanced Search</a></p> <input type="hidden" id="hdnSearch" name="hdnSearch" visible="false"/> </fieldset> </div> </noindex> <noindex>  <div id="popular"> <div class="tabbedFields"> <ul class="tabMenu"> <li><a href="javascript:;">Most Popular Articles</a></li> <li><a href="javascript:;">Most Emailed Articles</a></li> </ul>  <div class="tabContent"> <h3><a id="ctl35_PopularItemsRepeater_ctl00_StoryHeadlineHyperLink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130427034629/http://fcw.com/articles/2013/04/24/define-data-scientist.aspx">How to spot a data scientist</a></h3> <h3><a id="ctl35_PopularItemsRepeater_ctl01_StoryHeadlineHyperLink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130427034629/http://fcw.com/articles/2013/04/25/social-media-hacks.aspx">A guide to handle social-media hacks</a></h3> <h3><a id="ctl35_PopularItemsRepeater_ctl02_StoryHeadlineHyperLink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130427034629/http://fcw.com/articles/2013/04/24/big-data-popularity.aspx">Big dip coming for big data, and that's a good thing</a></h3> </div>  <div class="tabContent"> <h3><a id="ctl35_PopulareEmailRepeater_ctl00_StoryHeadlineHyperLink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130427034629/http://fcw.com/articles/2013/04/24/define-data-scientist.aspx">How to spot a data scientist</a></h3> <h3><a id="ctl35_PopulareEmailRepeater_ctl01_StoryHeadlineHyperLink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130427034629/http://fcw.com/articles/2013/04/25/base-closure-realignment.aspx">DOD officials push BRAC on Capitol Hill</a></h3> <h3><a id="ctl35_PopulareEmailRepeater_ctl02_StoryHeadlineHyperLink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130427034629/http://fcw.com/articles/2013/04/23/nist-ffrdc.aspx">NIST announces federal cyber center plans</a></h3> </div> </div> </div>  </noindex><div class="ad"> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> //<![CDATA[ ord = window.ord || Math.floor(Math.random() * 100000000);
