Global properties of noncommutative gauge theories are studied in the framework of deformation quantization. Local invertible covariantizing maps (which are closely related to the Seiberg-Witten map) lead naturally to the notion of a noncommutative vector bundle with noncommutative transition functions. We introduce the space of sections of such a bundle and show that it is (as expected) a projective module. The local covariantizing maps define a new star product which is shown to be Morita equivalent to the original one.
