The contract must either be in the Seller's name or the Seller must be able to document its ability to act as an agent of a partner's contract. Sellers must not bid more than their applicable contract ceiling price, excluding the Unison Marketplace Fee, for contract-specific items. If Unison receives notice that, due to inclusion of the Unison Marketplace Fee, the Selected Bid's line item pricing is higher than the Selected Seller's applicable published government contract pricing, the Unison Marketplace Fee will be reduced to ensure the Selected Bid's line item pricing does not exceed the Selected Seller's applicable contract pricing. Sellers may offer Open Market items only in accordance with the approved Terms and Conditions of their respective NASA SEWP V contract AND upon approval from the soliciting Contracting officer. Information regarding NASA SEWP V contracts is available at http://www.sewp.nasa.gov. The Seller must include the SEWP Agency Handling Fee (AHF) in their line item pricing in accordance with SEWP guidelines. The Unison Marketplace Fee will be calculated based solely on the price of the goods included in the Seller's bid.
