Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC)

A pre-competed IT contract usable by any federal agency.

Definition

GWACs such as Alliant and SEWP are multiple-award vehicles for information technology available government-wide, administered by a managing agency.

Why it matters

Holding a GWAC seat shortens the buying cycle and makes you visible to agencies that never post openly.

Example

An agency buys hardware through NASA SEWP rather than an open solicitation.
