Blue Ivy Partners Wins NASA SEWP VI Contract, Expanding Government Tech Solutions
Blue Ivy Partners Secures Key NASA Contract
In a significant advancement for government technology procurement, Blue Ivy Partners has been awarded a prime contract under NASA's Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement VI (SEWP VI). This prestigious contract underlines the company's commitment to providing high-quality technology solutions, particularly to federal agencies.
As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), Blue Ivy Partners specializes in software and technology solutions tailored for federal clients. With this new award, the firm will operate in both Category A, which focuses on commercial off-the-shelf technology products, and Category C, encompassing professional services. Expecting ordering to commence on November 1, 2026, the company is set to play a crucial role in supporting over 93 government agencies.
The SEWP VI contract is one of the most significant vehicles for technology procurement in the federal domain. In the fiscal year 2025, federal agencies utilized NASA SEWP V to spend a remarkable $12.1 billion, solidifying its status as an essential resource for government technology acquisitions. Blue Ivy Partners' selection as a prime contractor places it among a select group of SDVOSBs recognized for their excellence in the competitive landscape of government contracts.
The selection holds great importance for Blue Ivy Partners, especially since it competes in Category A — a category where federal contracting officers are particularly selective due to set-aside procurement preferences. This distinction not only boosts the firm's credibility but enhances its visibility among potential clients in the federal market. By leveraging the SEWP VI opportunity, Blue Ivy Partners can deliver better prices and increased responsiveness to governmental clients. Moreover, government agencies will gain access to innovative products in sectors where Blue Ivy has developed expertise over the past decade. This includes areas like cybersecurity, artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), digital engineering, and modern software development stacks.
Notably, the SEWP VI contract serves as a strategic advantage for Blue Ivy’s publicly traded product partners who face quarterly earnings deadlines. By reducing administrative overhead, the contracts facilitate faster order processing and more precise timing for deal closures, which ultimately translates into an improved operational rhythm for all stakeholders involved.
Securing the SEWP VI contract necessitated substantial investments in building robust systems, obtaining security certifications, and maintaining high operational standards. Blue Ivy Partners is also pursuing ISO 9001 quality management certification and complies with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 to align with requirements set by defense and intelligence entities. With an expansive management team and the achievement of a Top Secret facility security clearance (FCL), the company is positioned to better serve its clients.
Tim Ogden, CEO of Blue Ivy Partners, expressed enthusiasm regarding the contract win, stating, "As we enter our second decade in this market, this contract award helps validate the company and performance we've been building. SEWP VI is how the Federal government buys technology at scale. Becoming a prime contractor signifies that more Federal agencies can trust and rely on us for their key investments."
Blue Ivy Partners, headquartered in Arlington, VA since 2016, has amassed multiple prime contracts, delivering technology products and professional services to various U.S. federal agencies. As it moves forward, the company aims to cement its position as an essential partner in government tech solutions, paving the way for future innovations and high-impact contributions to federal operations.
