About this vehicle
The US Agency for International Development Bureau for Management Office of the Assistant Administrator established this Master IDIQ on July 5, 2012, with a shared ceiling of $30 million to provide field and Washington logistical support and short-term technical assistance to USAID's Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI). The vehicle is no longer active; the last date to order was October 4, 2017, closing nearly nine years ago.
Thirteen task orders were awarded under START between February 2013 and August 2017, with a combined potential value of $74.3 million and $29.7 million obligated (40% of potential). Activity peaked in 2014 with six orders, then declined to two orders each in 2015 and 2017. Development Transformations, LLC captured eight orders valued at $43.2 million combined potential, followed by Dexis Interactive LLC with four orders at $27.8 million combined potential, and Democracy International, Inc. with a single $3.3 million order. Development Transformations alone holds 58% of combined potential value; the three primes collectively account for 100% of awards.
All 13 task orders served USAID's Office of Transition Initiatives. Ten orders (77%) carried no set-aside designation; three orders (23%) were designated Total Small Business. Task orders funded critical functions and regional support across multiple geographies, including Syria, Yemen, Lebanon, Libya, South Sudan, and regional catch-all programs for Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean (AFR and LAC), and Asia, Middle East, and Eastern Europe (AEEME). Most orders used Cost Plus Fixed Fee pricing with completion dates extending into 2024, though many were administratively closed earlier. Task-order values ranged from $183.8 thousand to $20.5 million in ceiling value, with obligated amounts typically representing 30–40% of ceiling.
Since the ordering deadline passed in October 2017, this vehicle is suitable only for monitoring legacy obligations or understanding USAID OTI's historical procurement patterns.
