This addendum to the Invitation to Bid for Contract No. LAB-ABC-26R-001 Adult Blue Collar was issued by the Delaware Workforce Development Board on February 20, 2026. The addendum addresses technical difficulties that prevented some offerors from attending the mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for February 19, 2026, and permits those unable to attend due to these technical issues to proceed with their submissions. All other terms and conditions of the original bid remain unchanged. The critical deadlines established in the original solicitation remain in effect: written questions are due by February 24, 2026, with answers to be posted by March 2, 2026, and proposals are due by March 12, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time via email.

The addendum does not modify pricing, funding amounts, contract terms, or any other substantive aspects of the original RFP. The anticipated funding of $1,956,500 from State Blue Collar funds for the one-year contract term beginning July 1, 2026, and the evaluation criteria—demonstrated ability (15 points), program design (20 points), outcome and placement (35 points), cost-effectiveness (20 points), and leveraged resources (10 points)—remain as originally stated. Eligible respondents continue to be restricted to Delaware-registered non-profits, public entities, public institutions, institutions of higher education, and Department of Education-approved private trade schools. Questions regarding the addendum should be directed to Frederick Quick, Executive Director of the DWDB, at 302-761-8163 or DWDBContracting@delaware.gov.
