About this IDV
The 8(a) STARS III Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) is a $50 billion multiple-award indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity vehicle awarded to Swain Online Inc. (doing business as Swain Techs) on February 23, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of July 1, 2026. This contract is administered by the General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service and is reserved exclusively for small businesses certified under the Small Business Administration's 8(a) Business Development Program. The GWAC authorizes Swain Online Inc. to provide comprehensive information technology and engineering services on a government-wide basis, enabling federal agencies across all departments to issue task orders for IT solutions, services, and support. The contract was competitively solicited as an 8(a) set-aside opportunity, with the original solicitation posted on June 22, 2020, and initial awards issued on July 2, 2021, reflecting GSA's implementation of Class Deviation RFO-2025-16.
As a $50 billion GWAC vehicle, the contract establishes Swain Online Inc. as an approved provider for emerging technology services including artificial intelligence, automation, distributed ledger systems, and technology research and development across the federal government. The structure as a multiple-award GWAC allows federal agencies to issue individual task orders within their respective funding allocations, rather than executing separate competitive procurements for each IT requirement. This vehicle complements Swain Online Inc.'s existing federal contracting portfolio, which includes a $1 billion eFAST Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration, a $15 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of Defense's Joint Artificial Intelligence Center, and other significant contracts with various federal agencies. The 8(a) STARS III GWAC serves as a primary mechanism for federal agencies to access minority-owned small business IT and engineering capabilities on a government-wide scale.
