This federal contract award is for the provision of a barber instructor to teach the "VT BARBER PROGRAM" vocational training course at the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Worth, Texas for the month of November in Fiscal Year 2025. The single-award, firm fixed price delivery order has a ceiling value of $3,840.00 and was issued to Mid Cities Barber College, a private, for-profit, minority-owned educational institution that specializes in vocational barber training programs.
This is not a set-aside contract. Mid Cities Barber College has received previous delivery orders against a larger five-year, $490,000 indefinite delivery contract awarded by the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons in 2023 to provide barber instructor services at the Federal Medical Center in Fort Worth. The agency's goal is to offer vocational training programs that lead to industry certifications and employment opportunities for incarcerated individuals upon their release.
