Sierra Nevada Job Corps Center

The Department of Labor Office of Job Corps Sierra Nevada Job Corps Center is a sub-agency within the Labor Department responsible for workforce training and job placement services, procuring support services and supplies for its residential training facility. The center operates as a single contracting entity without subordinate offices carrying distinct procurement portfolios.

The Sierra Nevada center has awarded 44 federal contracts totaling $5.5 million in potential value since 2016, with all obligated value drawn down. Award activity peaked early: 25 awards in 2016, declining to 10 in 2017, 3 in 2018, and 6 in 2019. No awards are recorded after 2019, indicating the procurement footprint has contracted sharply or transitioned to non-contract mechanisms in recent years. Across the portfolio history, 18 distinct prime contractors have been awarded.

The competitive base is fragmented. No single prime contractor dominates the portfolio; contract volume is distributed across 18 vendors, typical of a regional training center purchasing routine operational and support services from local and regional suppliers. The vast majority of awards—39 of 44, or 89 percent—carry no set-aside designation, reflecting open competition. Small-business set-asides account for 4 awards (9 percent), and 1 award is designated Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (2 percent).

The agency shows no recent contract opportunities or active solicitations in the current market. The last recorded award closed in April 2019, now more than seven years prior. Business development professionals evaluating pursuit at this center should verify current procurement status directly with the facility, as the contract award record suggests minimal or no active contracting activity since 2019.
