Two companies are challenging the U.S. Agency for International Development’s decision to only select a pair of small businesses for the stability support services program.
A pair of small businesses are challenging how the U.S. Agency for International Development made its choices for a $5 billion contract vehicle.
The Support Which Implements Fast Transition contract, known as SWIFT, supports USAID’s work to promote democracy and stability in countries where conflict is a regular occurrence to promote democracy and stability. This is the sixth iteration of the SWIFT vehicle.
