About this opportunity

The Department of Labor has awarded contract 1605JE-26-C-0004 to Education and Training Resources on a sole-source basis for continued operation of the Iroquois Job Corps Center, with a total estimated value of $15,901,152.00.

The sole-source award is justified under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and FAR 6.103-1 based on ETR's incumbent status as the only responsible source capable of maintaining operational continuity. ETR's current contract expires August 31, 2026, and the Department of Labor cannot complete a competitive procurement before that date due to two pending federal court orders affecting Job Corps program administration. Discontinuing operations would require student relocation at an estimated cost of $62,135 in transportation, necessitate a monthly caretaker contract valued at $100,000 to $150,000, and require a new contractor to hire and train an entirely new workforce—a process estimated to require 1.5 to two years for full operational recovery. The Department of Labor issued a notice of intent to sole-source on June 30, 2026, received two written responses, and determined ETR remains the only entity capable of satisfying the agency's needs. The contract runs one year base (September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027) at $10,953,222.00, with a possible six-month extension (September 1, 2027 through March 31, 2028) at $4,947,930.00. The Iroquois Job Corps Center operates 24 hours, seven days per week, providing residential services, medical care, education, training, and career transition support to students. The justification was approved August 27, 2026, and cost estimates were based on historical pricing and prior budget data.
