About this opportunity
The Department of Labor Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management has awarded contract 1605JW-26-C-0003 to Education and Training Resources on a sole-source basis for continued operation of the Montgomery Job Corps Center, with a total estimated value of $16,076,610.
The justification cites 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and RFO 6.103-1 (only one responsible source). DOL delayed issuing a competitive procurement due to ongoing federal court litigation regarding Job Corps program administration; the planned competitive procurement will not award before the incumbent contract expires on August 31, 2026. ETR is the only contractor capable of maintaining operational continuity without service disruption. Transition costs for a new contractor are estimated between $1.5 to two years to achieve comparable staffing and operational levels. Risks of service disruption include loss of established subcontractor relationships, staff turnover, and student displacement. Market research identified two entities expressing interest following a June 24, 2026 notice of intent to sole-source; neither possesses capability to ensure continuity and maintain existing vendor arrangements. Cost reasonableness was determined from historical pricing and budgeted monthly costs from the most recent operations contract.
The contract includes a one-year base period (September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027) valued at $10,717,740, plus an optional six-month extension (September 1, 2027 through March 31, 2028) valued at $5,358,870. The Montgomery Job Corps Center operates 24 hours per day, seven days per week, providing residential services including food, shelter, medical care, education, training, and career transition support. Approval was granted August 27, 2026.
