Carville Job Corps Center

The Department of Labor Office of Job Corps Carville Job Corps Center is a civilian sub-agency within the Department of Labor that administers vocational training and support services for disadvantaged youth at its Carville, Louisiana facility. The center procures contracts for facility operations, training delivery, support services, and related infrastructure to support its job corps mission.

The center's contract portfolio is minimal and episodic. Five federal contract awards have been recorded since 2009, with a combined potential value of $118.8 million and $79 million in obligated dollars. Award activity is sparse and irregular: one award in 2009, one in 2014, one in 2016, one in 2023, and one in 2025. The most recent award closed in August 2025. Across the portfolio's 16-year history, only four distinct prime contractors have been awarded.

Over the last five years, competitive concentration is highly fragmented by award count but fragmented by potential value. Management & Training Corporation and Cne-Cmi JV LLC each hold one recent award; Management & Training Corporation's $31.7 million award represents the largest single contract by potential value. The remaining awards from earlier years are held by two other primes not active in the recent window. The set-aside mix is dominated by unrestricted awards (60% of contracts), with one 8(a) sole-source award and one small-business set-aside together accounting for the remaining 40%.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded against the center as of October 2026. The infrequent award cadence and small number of active primes suggest that this office either operates with long-duration task orders or facilities contracts that renew infrequently, or that it conducts procurement activity at the regional or national Department of Labor level rather than at the center itself. BD professionals evaluating pursuit should confirm whether contract solicitations for Carville Job Corps Center operations are issued directly by this sub-office or routed through a parent contracting office.
