Fred G. Acosta Job Corps Center

The Department of Labor Office of Job Corps is a civilian sub-agency that procures training, administrative, and operational support services for the federal Job Corps program. Over its 17-year contract portfolio history, the Office of Job Corps has awarded five federal contracts totaling $131.5 million in combined potential value, with $97.7 million obligated to date. Award activity has been sparse and episodic: one contract in 2009, one in 2012, one in 2015, one in 2016, and most recently one in 2022; no awards are recorded since February 2022.

Among the three distinct prime contractors in the portfolio, Human Learning Systems LLC holds the only recorded award in the last five years—a single contract worth $50.2 million in potential value, representing 38 percent of the combined potential value across that window. The competitive concentration is highly fragmented by recent activity measure, reflecting the small number of recent awards relative to the long portfolio span.

The set-aside mix leans heavily toward unrestricted competition: 60 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation. The remaining 40 percent splits between one 8(a) Sole Source award (20 percent) and one Total Small Business award (20 percent).

No recent federal contract opportunities are recorded against the Office of Job Corps or its descendant offices, and no grant activity or grant opportunities are supported by the source data.
