FY26 DOES CFO Occupational Skills Training (ITA) (WIC Eligible Training Providers Only)

The District of Columbia Department of Employment Services (DOES) is procuring occupational skills training services through Individual Training Accounts (ITAs) for Fiscal Year 2026. This procurement is specifically restricted to WIC (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act) eligible training providers only. The primary objective is to deliver comprehensive occupational skills training that equips participants with workforce-ready competencies and credentials in high-demand occupations. The training programs must result in measurable outcomes including credential attainment, skill development, and improved employment prospects for program participants. Eligible providers must demonstrate previous experience in workforce development, instructional capacity, and the ability to serve diverse populations. The solicitation was posted on February 20, 2026, with a proposal submission deadline of March 5, 2026, allowing potential respondents approximately two weeks to prepare and submit their applications.

This procurement opportunity is restricted to WIC-eligible training providers, which significantly narrows the pool of potential respondents to organizations that have met specific federal workforce development standards and certifications. Organizations must maintain current WIC eligibility status and comply with all applicable workforce development regulations and reporting requirements. The District of Columbia may consider incumbent vendors or current training providers, though specific incumbent information was not detailed in the posted opportunity. No specific award value or budget range was disclosed in the solicitation materials. Interested organizations should verify their WIC eligibility status and ensure compliance with District of Columbia workforce development requirements prior to submitting proposals by the March 5, 2026 deadline.
