Penobscot Job Corps Center

The Department of Labor Office of Job Corps Penobscot Job Corps Center is a civilian sub-agency that operates a federally-funded vocational training facility in Maine. The center procures facilities management, operations, and support services to deliver job training and career placement programs to disadvantaged youth and adults. The Penobscot center awards contracts on an infrequent basis to support ongoing facility and program operations.

Over the lifetime of its contract portfolio, the center has awarded 4 federal contracts totaling $283.8 million in combined potential value, with $164.6 million obligated to date. Contract activity has been sparse and episodic: one award each in 2011, 2016, and 2018, and one award in 2024. The most recent award closed in April 2024. Distinct prime contractors awarded across the portfolio history number 2. All four awards are unset-aside, full-and-open competitive contracts.

Over the last five years, Arbor E & T LLC holds the single recorded award (2024, $69.2 million potential value), representing 100 percent of recent awards by count and 24 percent of the combined potential value across the portfolio. The competitive concentration among recent primes is highly concentrated by count, though the 24-percent by-value share suggests the center's contract base distributes across multiple vendors on a longer timeline. No recent contract opportunities are recorded against the center or its parent office.
