NASA Awards CTI SEWP VI Contract for AV and IT Solutions

NASA has awarded Conference Technologies Inc. (CTI) a Category A contract under its Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement VI (SEWP VI) government-wide acquisition contract. Contract 80TECH26D0617 has a stated $20 billion per-contract ceiling, and its 10-year ordering period is scheduled to run from November 1, 2026, through October 31, 2036. The award gives federal agencies and authorized contractors an established purchasing channel for eligible audiovisual (AV), communications, and information technology products and related services. The ceiling is stated per contract; the announcement does not specify an individual agency’s expected spending or a guaranteed amount of work for CTI.

SEWP VI is a multiple-award GWAC, so the practical significance of the award is access to a contract channel rather than a single defined project. CTI’s Category A scope covers technology purchases for federal workplaces, collaboration spaces, operations centers, and command environments. Eligible offerings identified in the announcement include conference room systems, video walls, digital signage, presentation systems, professional audio equipment, displays, visualization tools, and integrated communications. Collaboration products include video conferencing, Microsoft Teams Rooms, and Cisco systems. Federal acquisition teams should confirm that a particular requirement and proposed solution are within the vehicle’s scope and follow applicable ordering procedures.

The contract also encompasses services that can support technology deployment and sustainment. CTI lists system design, installation, configuration, integration, testing, commissioning, training, maintenance, and technical support among the associated services. Combining eligible products with the work needed to deploy and operate them may be relevant to buyers planning complete room or facility upgrades, rather than standalone equipment purchases. That could include collaboration environments, broadcast facilities, operations centers, and command-and-control settings, although each acquisition must be shaped around the agency’s requirements and the contract’s ordering rules.

CTI CEO John Laughlin said the award would help federal customers order AV and IT products and services “in the swiftest and most efficient manner possible.” For buyers, the immediate next step is to review CTI’s ordering guide at cti.com/sewpvi, validate scope and ordering instructions, and compare the vehicle with other available acquisition options. For industry, the award is a market-planning signal: CTI will be positioned to compete for eligible federal purchases through SEWP VI over the ordering period, but the contract ceiling should not be read as a forecast of sales or an award of that amount. The source describes CTI as the largest privately held AV integration and events provider in the United States, headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, with 47 U.S. locations and operations in the UK and worldwide through the PSNI Global Alliance.
