The Importance of GSA Contracted and SEWP Contracted Devices

A respected manufacturer of data storage solutions, Ciphertex Data Security explains why GSA- and SEWP-contracted devices offer unsurpassed quality.

For businesses that require world-class data-management solutions, GSA- and SEWP-contracted devices offer dependable options that comply with the highest standards in security and performance.

GSA-contracted devices have been approved for government use by the General Services Administration, which is responsible for ordering products and services for U.S. federal agencies.

Approved products are listed on the GSA's official ecommerce site, GSA Advantage!®. The site processes over a million orders each year.

In order to earn GSA approval, IT devices must undergo a rigorous testing process to ensure they are capable of conforming to government standards of data management and security.

IT products and services are listed under GSA Schedule 70.

In addition, companies that manufacture these products are required to undergo a strict vetting process that typically lasts 6-12 months. They must be able to prove:
- Satisfactory track record in the industry
- Demonstrated technical know-how
- Adherence to high standards of business ethics

Federal agencies can also obtain IT devices and solutions through Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP). Administered by NASA, SEWP is dedicated solely to IT solutions.

IT solutions purchased through SEWP often can be ordered more quickly and at lower prices than those on GSA schedules.

As with GSA-approved products, IT solutions available through SEWP have been thoroughly vetted to ensure a high level of performance. As a result, these products are widely sought after in the private sector as well.

To maintain SEWP-contracted status, IT products must remain at the cutting edge of technological trends.
