North Texas Job Corps Center

The Department of Labor Office of Job Corps North Texas Job Corps Center is a civilian training facility within the federal Job Corps program that procures goods and services to support residential job-training operations. The North Texas center awards contracts for supplies, equipment, and services supporting its mission to provide vocational and academic training to disadvantaged youth.

The center has awarded 13 federal contracts since 2005, with combined potential value of $590.9 million and $372.5 million obligated. Recent activity shows 2 awards in 2019, 1 in 2020, 3 in 2021, 1 in 2023, and 2 in 2024, with the most recent award closing on May 21, 2024. Nine distinct prime contractors have been awarded across the portfolio lifetime.

Over the last five years, competitive concentration is highly fragmented; Govsmart, Inc. leads with 2 awards totaling $1.8 million in combined potential value, followed by Countertrade Products, Inc. with 1 award valued at $508 thousand. The top two primes account for all recent awards by count, but reported potential value for the by-value ranking covers 0% of combined potential value, indicating that the bulk of the center's contract spending occurs through Schedule task orders, BPA calls, modifications, or below-threshold purchase orders where dollar values are not separately reported in the source data.

Set-aside activity skews heavily to unrestricted awards: 69% of contracts carry no set-aside designation, while 23% are small-business set-asides and 8% are HUBZone set-asides. No recent contract opportunities are recorded in the source data. The center's contract activity remains sporadic, with no awards issued in 2022, 2025, or year-to-date in 2026; this pattern suggests project-based or periodic renewal procurements rather than ongoing open solicitations.
