Office of Job Corps Dallas Region

The Department of Labor Office of Job Corps Dallas Region is a civilian sub-agency that procures training, facility management, and support services for the Job Corps program across its Dallas-area service delivery network. The Office administers federal workforce development contracts supporting vocational training centers, administrative infrastructure, and related operational support.

The agency has awarded 75 federal contracts totaling $99.4 million in combined potential value since 2011, with $79.7 million obligated to date. Contract activity has declined sharply over the past five years: 22 awards in 2018, 18 in 2019, 9 in 2020, 4 in 2021, and 1 in 2022. The most recent award closed on May 1, 2022, indicating a contracting pause of more than four years with no recorded activity through October 2026.

Across the portfolio's five-year window, competitive concentration is highly fragmented. Govsmart, Inc. holds the sole recorded award over the last five years—one contract valued at $2.4 million—representing only 2 percent of combined potential value by value and 100 percent by count (a data artifact reflecting the overall reduction in award volume). The portfolio's 39 distinct prime contractors over its lifetime suggest broad competitive participation, but the recent collapse in award frequency has left minimal transactional activity to characterize the current vendor landscape.

The contracting mix favors unrestricted competition: 67 percent of awards carried no set-aside designation. Small-business set-asides account for 17 percent of awards, 8(a) sole-source for 9 percent, HUBZone for 5 percent, and service-disabled veteran-owned small business sole source for 1 percent.

No recent federal contract opportunities are recorded against the Office. The four-year gap between the most recent award and the current date, combined with the absence of active solicitations in the source data, suggests the Office is not pursuing new contract activity at this time. Firms should verify directly with the Office's contracting staff whether procurement plans are expected to resume or whether workforce support services are now being delivered through alternative mechanisms.
