Indefinite Delivery Contract 7200AA24D00015

This Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with a ceiling value of $5,000,000,000 was awarded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI) to support U.S. foreign policy objectives by catalyzing local initiatives to advance stability, peace, and democracy in response to complex political crises. The contract, titled "Support Which Implements Fast Transition 6" (SWIFT 6), is structured around two service areas: 1) Implementation of Transition Programs (SWIFT-Programs) and 2) Program Operations Technical Assistance Support (SWIFT-Support), with the latter being a small business set-aside. Under the SWIFT-Programs component, the prime contractor will establish, staff, manage, and operate a flexible, quick-response mechanism to administer and implement targeted activities under OTI Country or Regional Programs, undertake programmatic research initiatives, and provide support to program-funded USAID personnel. The SWIFT-Support component will involve recruiting and deploying technical assistance to support OTI program operations and providing support to program-funded USAID personnel. The contract has a 10-year ordering period with an additional 2-year period of performance for ongoing task orders.

The original solicitation indicates that USAID anticipates approximately 8 awards under the unrestricted SWIFT-Programs component, which may include at least 1 small business reserve contract, as well as 1 to 3 awards to small business concerns under the SWIFT-Support small business set-aside. The solicitation was released to enable USAID to seize emerging windows of opportunity in the political landscape and provide adaptive and agile programming in countries or regions facing complex political crises in support of U.S. foreign policy objectives.
