Gadsen Job Corps Center

The Department of Labor Office of Job Corps Gadsden Job Corps Center is a civilian training and workforce-development facility that procures services and infrastructure to support its mission of providing vocational education and career training to disadvantaged youth. The center operates as a sub-office within the Department of Labor's Job Corps program.

Contract activity at Gadsden Job Corps has been sporadic but substantial in value. The center has issued 10 federal contract awards cumulatively since 2013, with a combined potential value of $204.8 million and $118 million obligated to date. Recent activity shows 2 awards in 2015, 2 in 2016, 1 in 2018, 1 in 2023, and 2 year-to-date in 2026, with the most recent award recorded in May 2026.

The competitive landscape is fragmented, with six distinct prime contractors across the portfolio lifetime. Over the last five years, Strategix Management LLC and Chugach Solutions Enterprise, LLC account for all recent awards by count, holding 34 percent of combined potential value. Strategix has captured one award valued at $53.8 million, while Chugach Solutions has secured two awards totaling $15.5 million in combined potential value. The long tail of four additional contractors holds $135.5 million in combined potential value across remaining awards, indicating that while recent activity concentrates among two primes, the overall portfolio disperses across multiple vendors.

Half of awards carry no set-aside designation, 30 percent are 8(a) Sole Source awards, and 20 percent are set-asides for Small Business. This structure suggests the center balances open competition with small-business development and minority-owned business support.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded against the center in the open solicitation pipeline.
