About this vehicle
USAID's Bureau for Management Office of the Assistant Administrator established the Support Which Implements Fast Transitions III (SWIFT III) Master IDIQ on August 29, 2008, with a shared ceiling of $1.5 billion and a final ordering date of February 28, 2014—now closed for 12 years. This vehicle is no longer active for new task orders; SWIFT IV succeeded it in February 2014 and is the current generation vehicle for OTI's transition and stabilization work.
SWIFT III funded rapid-deployment assistance to advance U.S. foreign policy objectives through local partners in crisis countries, with contractor teams providing in-country management, grant administration, technical assistance, and political-situation assessments. Task orders covered geographically dispersed programs including Pakistan Transition Initiative, Syria Regional Program, Haiti recovery initiatives, Lebanon, Kenya, Tunisia, Libya, Yemen, and programs in South Sudan, Myanmar, Honduras, Kyrgyzstan, and Mali, among others. Work was cost-plus-fixed-fee and performed overseas at multiple country locations.
The vehicle issued 24 task orders between June 2009 and September 2013, with annual ordering rates declining from 6 per year in 2009–2010 to 3 in 2012. Combined task-order potential value reached $1.57 billion, with $1.03 billion obligated (66% of potential). A single undisclosed domestic awardee group held 16 of 24 orders representing $1.34 billion of combined potential value, creating high concentration; named primes DT Global, International Resources Group, Casals & Associates, and Development & Training Services held the remainder. All 24 task orders carried no set-aside designation. USAID's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance placed roughly 40% of orders by value ($921 million of $1.57 billion combined potential), with the remainder split across the Bureau for Management Office of the Assistant Administrator, USAID country missions, and regional programs. Task-order ceilings ranged widely—from $1.4 million to $401.5 million—reflecting diverse program scope and duration; typical durations extended 2–6 years with substantial de-obligations at closeout.
Description
The objective of this Master IDIQ is to provide the office of transition initiatives (OTI) with the means to support U.S. foreign policy objectives by helping local partners advance peace and democracy in priority countries in crisis. OTI's program team, comprising OTI and contractor personnel, will work on the ground to provide fast, flexible, short-term assistance targeted at key political transition and stabilization needs.
