Montgomery Job Corps Center

The Department of Labor Office of Job Corps is a civilian agency within the Department of Labor that procures contracts to operate and support Job Corps centers and related workforce development programs. The Office has awarded 7 federal contracts since 2008, with a combined potential value of $215.1 million and $151.1 million obligated to date. Recent contract activity is minimal: one award in 2014, one in 2015, two in 2020, one in 2023, and one in 2026, most recently on August 31, 2026.

The contract competitive base is highly fragmented. Over the last five years, Education & Training Resources LLC and Best Value Management, LLC account for the only recent awards — Education & Training Resources LLC holds $13.9 million in combined potential value across one award, and Best Value Management, LLC holds $1.2 million across one award. Neither contractor dominates a sustained procurement relationship; the Office has worked with five distinct prime contractors across the portfolio lifetime, indicating a dispersed vendor base without entrenched incumbents.

Set-aside usage is balanced: 43 percent of awards are unrestricted, 43 percent are set aside for small business, and 14 percent are 8(a) sole-source awards. The Office obligates roughly 70 percent of potential contract value, suggesting moderate execution velocity against awarded ceiling amounts.

No recent federal contract opportunities are recorded against the Office or its descendant offices. The sparse recent contract award cadence and absence of current solicitations suggest limited near-term procurement activity at the Office.
