The U.S. Bureau of International Labor Affairs awarded a $9,615.64 firm fixed-price purchase order to Adams and Associates Inc. (doing business as Adams and Associates of Nevada) on December 12, 2011, for catering services provided January 25-26, 2010. This purchase order represented a ratification payment for services already rendered and was completed by the ultimate completion date of December 12, 2011. The contract was performed in Washington, DC, and no set-aside designation was used in this procurement.
Adams and Associates Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation, is an established federal contractor specializing in workforce development services, particularly through its operation of Job Corps centers nationwide in partnership with the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Job Corps. The company holds significant federal contracting vehicles, including a $540 million indefinite delivery contingency operations contract for Job Corps center operations and a $2 million General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule contract for human capital services. This catering services purchase order, while modest in value compared to the company's primary workforce development contracts, represents ancillary services support for federal operations.
