Exeter Job Corps Center

The Department of Labor Office of Job Corps Exeter Job Corps Center is a civilian job-training facility that procures services and operations support through federal contracts. Exeter Job Corps Center operates as a sub-office within the broader Job Corps program, which administers vocational training and career-development services for economically disadvantaged youth.

The center has awarded 3 federal contracts since 2014, totaling $105 million in combined potential value with $95.5 million obligated to date. Contract activity has been sparse and irregular: 1 award in 2014, 1 in 2016, and 1 in 2021. The most recent award closed on June 1, 2021. All three awards were issued to a single prime contractor with no set-asides applied, indicating that competitive procurement has not engaged small-business, 8(a), WOSB, SDVOSB, or HUBZone designations across the portfolio.

The highly concentrated contractor base — one prime holding 100 percent of awards and obligated value — reflects a single, long-term operating or services contract rather than a rotation of suppliers. No recent contract awards are recorded since 2021. No recent contract opportunities are present in the digest. Given the five-year dormancy in new contract activity and the single-vendor relationship, active pursuit of new work at this facility is not currently supportable unless forthcoming solicitations appear in the pipeline.
