The Support that Augments Rapid Transition (START) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a multiple-award vehicle designed to provide comprehensive support services for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI). The contract focuses on delivering field and Washington-based logistical support and short-term technical assistance to facilitate rapid transitions in various regions experiencing political, economic, or social changes. The IDIQ enables USAID to quickly mobilize expertise and resources to support complex international development and stabilization efforts across different geographic contexts.

The task orders under this IDIQ demonstrate a diverse range of regional interventions, predominantly involving cost-plus fixed fee delivery orders across regions including Syria, South Sudan, Lebanon, Libya, Yemen, and the Africa and Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) regions. Typical task order values range from approximately $200,000 to $20 million, with performance periods spanning from several months to multiple years. Prime contractors frequently awarded task orders include Development Transformations LLC, Dexis Consulting Group, and Democracy International, Inc. Most task orders were not set aside, though a few were designated as total small business contracts. The work consistently focuses on critical functions such as research, analysis, information collection, capacity building, and supporting democratic transitions in countries experiencing significant political or social challenges.
