Serrato Corporation was awarded an indefinite delivery contract by the Department of Labor's Office of Job Corps to serve as a contingency operator for Job Corps centers nationwide. The multiple award contract has a potential value of $600 million and a period of performance through November 2021 to issue task orders.
Under the contract, Serrato will provide workforce development and training services intended to take over physical and programmatic operations of existing Job Corps centers with minimal disruption. This includes academic and career technical instruction, outreach, admissions, and post-graduation job placement assistance. The initial task order issued to Serrato funded startup activities and was valued at $2,500.
As the Job Corps program aims to offer at-risk youth education and vocational skills development to promote career success, this contract establishes Serrato as a resource to ensure service continuity for students should a center operator transition be necessary. Serrato will deliver services from the original solicitation mirroring their experience operating multiple centers directly under separate Job Corps contracts. The indefinite delivery aspect allows the Department of Labor flexibility to task Serrato with contingency center operations on an as-needed basis.
