About this file
This amendment modifies a solicitation for the operation of the Cascades Job Corps Center. The amendment incorporates a new clause requiring that any training provided under the contract must not promote concepts of race or sex stereotyping, including that one race or sex is inherently superior or that individuals bear responsibility for actions committed by others of their race or sex. The contractor must provide notice of this new requirement to any unions or worker representatives. Noncompliance may result in contract cancellation or other sanctions from the Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. The related federal contract opportunity describes plans to issue a request for proposal around October 23, 2020 for operation of the Cascades Job Corps Center, including outreach and career transition services. The anticipated fixed-price contract would have a two-year base period and three one-year options, and require operation of the 300-student residential center as well as outreach and admissions for 650 students annually in designated Washington workforce areas.
