The Support Which Implements Fast Transition 5 (SWIFT 5) is an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle administered by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI). The contract is designed to provide rapid, flexible support for stabilization, democracy-building, and crisis response programming in countries experiencing political transitions or complex political environments. Structured around two primary service areas, the vehicle enables quick-response mechanisms for implementing targeted activities under country or regional programs and providing long-term technical assistance to support program operations.

The SWIFT 5 vehicle has generated numerous task orders across multiple regions, with typical contract values ranging from approximately $10 million to $256 million and performance periods extending to September 2026. Frequent prime contractors include Chemonics International, DT Global (AECOM), Creative Associates International, Management Systems International, and Dexis Consulting Group. Task orders have supported initiatives in regions such as Central America, the Middle East, Africa, and Eastern Europe, with a focus on democracy promotion, stability, governance, and conflict prevention. Most task orders are awarded on a cost-plus-fixed-fee basis and do not utilize small business set-asides, though a few specific orders have been designated for small businesses. The contract vehicle allows USAID to rapidly deploy technical assistance, advisory services, capacity building, and direct program implementation in response to emerging political developments and humanitarian challenges.
