The General Services Administration is working with NASA, the Office of Management and Budget and the National Institutes of Health on plans to move several IT governmentwide contract vehicles under its management, Nextgov/FCW said Wednesday.
Some of the contract vehicles that are expected to transfer to GSA are NASA’s Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement, or SEWP; NIH’s Chief Information Officer–Solutions and Partners 3, or CIO-SP3; Chief Information Officer-Commodities and Solutions, or CIO-CS; and the CIO-SP4 contract, according to plans shared with select GSA personnel during a workforce town hall Tuesday.
According to the report, CIO-SP3 has been extended through April 2026. The NIH Information Technology Acquisition and Assessment Center has yet to award the CIO-SP4 vehicle.

NASA’s Plans for SEWP VI
Nextgov/FCW reported that NASA has several plans for the sixth iteration of the SEWP contract, including adding standalone IT services to the vehicle.
The agency also expects to increase the number of prime contractors on SEWP VI to about 1,000, up from 147 vendors on SEWP V, which is set to expire in October.
Consolidating Federal Procurement Within GSA
The latest development reflects GSA’s expanding role in government acquisition and aligns with an executive order that President Trump signed in March.
The executive order calls for the consolidation of federal procurement of goods and services within GSA as part of a push to remove waste and duplication and enable agencies to focus on their mission of delivering services to citizens. The policy also directs the head of OMB to designate the GSA administrator as the executive agent for all IT GWACs.
GSA Senior Procurement Executive Jeffrey Koses said decisions have yet to be finalized.
“Any potential transitions will be carefully coordinated with our partner agencies and will prioritize continuity for industry partners and federal customers alike. Our shared goal is to reduce duplication and enhance efficiency. As I said in our Workforce Town Hall, GSA is in a position to help save tens of billions of tax dollars for Americans,” Koses told Nextgov/FCW.
