About this opportunity

The Department of Agriculture Forest Service is soliciting support services for the Frenchburg Job Corps center, with quotations due July 15, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST and technical questions due July 10 at 1:00 PM EST. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS 561320, Temporary Help Services, with a corrected small business size standard of $34 million.

Place of performance is Frenchburg, Kentucky. The contract requires three positions on an hourly basis for a 12-month period from August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2027: two Social Services Assistant positions at 1,040 hours each and one Recreational Aid position at 1,040 hours. The Government will fund only the first six months at award, with the remaining six months funded via modification when funds become available. Quoters must price all 12 months as firm-fixed-price. Service Contract Labor Standards wage determinations apply: Social Services Assistants at $24.21 per hour plus $5.55 per hour fringe benefits (health and welfare), and Recreational Aide at $14.40 per hour plus fringe benefits.

The Performance Work Statement requires provision of clinical support services including registered nurses and mental health counselors to address staffing shortages. All contractor personnel must pass federal background investigations (NACI level) at contractor expense, with contract performance unable to commence until the Government confirms receipt of complete investigative documents and OPM scheduling. Key personnel include a Purchase Order Contract Manager with a bachelor's degree and minimum five years of program or contract management experience, and a Project Coordination and Oversight Lead responsible for staff onboarding, invoicing, and subcontractor management.

Evaluation weighs technical capability, past performance, and price equally, with technical capability rated more important than price. A 6-month extension option under FAR 52.217-8 must be pre-priced. Quotations are submitted electronically to Contracting Officer Darlene Chase at Darlene.Chase@usda.gov. Updated evaluation criteria, Questions and Answers documents, and the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan were posted July 1–2 and July 10, 2026.
