Brunswick Job Corps Center

The Department of Labor Office of Job Corps, a sub-agency within the Cabinet Department of Labor, administers federal contract awards for job training and career development services under the Job Corps program, which serves disadvantaged youth nationwide.

The Office of Job Corps has closed six federal contract awards since 2009, with recent activity averaging one award per year across 2014, 2015, 2021, 2022, and 2023. The combined potential value of all awards stands at $155.1 million, with $126 million obligated to date (81 percent of potential). Three distinct prime contractors have been awarded contracts over the portfolio history.

Competitive concentration is highly fragmented by award count within the recent five-year window — the top two primes by count (Adams And Associates Inc. and Harbor Fed Con LLC) account for two of the five recent awards (100 percent coverage by count reflects limited recent activity). However, Adams And Associates Inc. dominates by dollar value, holding $61.8 million in potential value against a combined recent portfolio of approximately $147.5 million, making it the clear financial leader. Harbor Fed Con LLC accounts for $2.8 million in potential value. The top two primes together represent 42 percent of combined potential value, indicating a moderately concentrated structure overall with a significant tail of other awardees.

The set-aside mix is minimal: five of six awards (83 percent) carried no set-aside designation. One award (17 percent) was structured as a HUBZone Sole Source set-aside. The agency does not use 8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB, or other standard small-business set-asides in its recent portfolio.

No recent federal contract opportunities or grant opportunities are recorded against the Office of Job Corps. The most recent recorded award closed in February 2023. Given the sparse solicitation history and the long intervals between awards, pursuit of this agency should be treated as a watch rather than an active-lead opportunity unless specific market intelligence suggests an imminent procurement announcement.
