Kittrell Job Corps Center

The Department of Labor Office of Job Corps Kittrell Job Corps Center is a civilian sub-agency that procures services and infrastructure supporting occupational training and employment readiness programming at a federally funded residential Job Corps center. The center operates under the Department of Labor's broader Job Corps mission, which provides tuition-free education and career training to low-income young adults.

The Kittrell center's contract portfolio is extremely sparse and sporadic. Across a thirteen-year window since 2012, the office has issued four awards totaling $232 million in combined potential value, with $137.5 million obligated to date. Award activity is concentrated in distinct periods: one award in 2012, one in 2013, one in 2019, and one closed award on July 1, 2024. The 2024 award represents the most recent transactional activity.

Over the last five years, Covenant Learning Solutions LLC holds the single recent award and accounts for 32 percent of combined potential value across the portfolio window, making it the only identified prime contractor in the recent slate. The three distinct prime contractors across the all-time portfolio represent a highly fragmented competitive base, though the extreme sparsity of award volume (one or fewer awards per year on average) limits concentration analysis. The vast majority of awards (75 percent) carry no set-aside designation; one award (25 percent) is designated Total Small Business.

The Kittrell center's low transaction frequency and long gaps between awards suggest a stable operations-and-maintenance footprint rather than active, competitive procurement activity. Firms should monitor for multi-year operational service renewals or infrastructure modernization solicitations, but the historical cadence provides limited visibility into near-term opportunities. No recent contract opportunities are recorded against the center, and no grant activity is present in the roll-up.
