Ottumwa Job Corps Center

The Department of Labor Office of Job Corps is a civilian agency administering federal job training and career development programs for economically disadvantaged youth, procuring services and support systems through federal contracts. Job Corps operates as a sub-agency within the Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration, delivering comprehensive residential and non-residential training across a national network of centers.

Job Corps has awarded three federal contracts totaling $125.3 million in combined potential value since 2016, with $91.2 million obligated to date (73% of potential value). Award cadence is sparse: one contract in 2016, one in 2018, and one in 2023 (the most recent closed award). All three awards are unrestricted; no set-asides appear in the portfolio.

Career Systems Development Corporation is the sole prime contractor in the portfolio, holding all three awards and $56.8 million in combined potential value across the last five years. The contractor accounts for 45% of the combined potential value within the recent window. The remaining $68.5 million in potential value is distributed across unidentified primes in the earlier portfolio, indicating that at least one additional contractor received an award prior to the last five years.

The three-award portfolio over a decade-long span and the single active prime across recent years signal minimal contract velocity. No recent federal contract opportunities are recorded against Job Corps or its sub-offices.
