This is Addendum #1 to an Invitation to Bid issued on February 12, 2026, by the Delaware Workforce Development Board (DWDB) and Delaware Department of Labor for Contract No. LAB-ABC-26R-001, Adult Blue Collar. The addendum provides an update to the mandatory pre-bid meeting information, which remains scheduled for February 19, 2026, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The addendum includes detailed Microsoft Teams meeting access information, including the meeting ID (247 952 549 941 20), passcode (zd9jC3o7), dial-in phone number (+1 302-504-8986), and alternative joining options via video conferencing device and phone conference. Proposers experiencing difficulty accessing the meeting are directed to contact DWDBDETContracting@Delaware.gov for assistance. All other terms and conditions of the original RFP remain unchanged, with the contract addressing occupational skills training and workforce preparation programs for adult career entrants and career changers in high-demand occupations.

The addendum does not contain pricing information, set-aside provisions, incumbent vendor details, or funding amounts, as it serves solely to clarify the logistics of the mandatory pre-bid meeting. Proposers should reference the original RFP documents for complete details regarding budget requirements (including the 25% minimum allocation for paid work experience and 10% indirect cost cap), performance metrics (100% enrollment, 80% completion rates, 90% credential attainment, and 80% Day 1 employment outcomes), evaluation criteria, eligibility restrictions (Delaware-registered non-profits, public entities, public institutions, institutions of higher education, or Department of Education-approved private trade schools), and the anticipated $1,956,500 in State Blue Collar funding for the one-year initial contract term from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, with four optional one-year renewal periods.
