About this opportunity
The Department of Labor's Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management has awarded contract 1605JW-27-C-0001 under a limited sources justification for continued operation of the Wilmington Job Corps Center with OA & CTS, with the award dated October 30, 2026. The notice's award line names no vendor or amount. The attached justification, as summarized in the notice file, identifies Education and Training Resources (ETR), the incumbent operator, as the sole responsible source, with a one-year base period valued at $7,548,685.00, a possible six-month extension valued at $3,057,697.00, and a total estimated value of $10,606,382.00.
The justification states that the prior contract expires October 31, 2026, and that federal court orders restricting closure of private Job Corps centers were not resolved until September 2026, leaving insufficient time for competitive procurement. It asserts that only ETR can ensure continuity of services, existing subcontractor agreements, and vendor arrangements, and that an interruption would require student transportation, a caretaker contract at $100,000 to $150,000 monthly, and 1.5 to two years of operational recovery. DOL issued a notice of intent to sole source on June 30, 2026, received two responses, and approved the justification on September 28, 2026. The notice is posted for transparency only and is not a request for competitive proposals. No set-aside was used.
The base period runs November 1, 2026 through October 31, 2027, with the possible extension running November 1, 2027 through April 30, 2028. The notice cites FAR 6.103-1 as the approval basis and FAR 16.505(a)(4) as the posting basis. The attached justification cites 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1). Place of performance is the Wilmington Job Corps Center. The notice is coded NAICS 611519, Other Technical and Trade Schools, and PSC U006, Education/Training-Vocational/Technical.
