Excelsior Springs Job Corps Center

The Department of Labor Office of Job Corps, a civilian sub-agency within the Department of Labor, funds training and employment programs for low-income and disadvantaged youth through federal contracts. The Office's contract activity is minimal and infrequent; it has awarded 6 contracts cumulatively since 2009, with the most recent award closing on June 1, 2022. Recent contract volume has been sparse: 1 award in 2020, 1 in 2022, and no awards recorded since then. The combined potential value across all awards is $269.4 million, with $186.9 million obligated against that ceiling (69% of combined potential).

Among active contractors, Education & Training Resources LLC holds a dominant position in recent years, capturing the sole award recorded in the last five years at $89.7 million combined potential value—100 percent of recent award count and 33 percent of combined potential value across the five-year window. The contractor base is highly fragmented beyond that single recent awardee; across the portfolio lifetime, 5 distinct prime contractors have been awarded contracts, reflecting the Office's infrequent procurement cadence.

Contract set-asides are predominantly unrestricted: 4 of 6 awards (67%) carried no set-aside designation, while 1 award (17%) was an 8(a) sole source and 1 award (17%) was designated as a total small business set-aside. The Office's contracting pattern—fewer than one award per year on average and long gaps between awards—suggests project-based or renewal activity rather than continuous procurement. No recent contract opportunities are recorded.
